Is this beat I overlayed on a Martinete acceptable?
This is for a rhythm minigame in a videogame I'm making, I'm not trying to remix a Martinete for artistic purposes.
I can't tell by myself if this is good or bad. It feels off at times, at other times it feels good, but this may just be pure chance. I have also been going over the track back and forth way too many times now, I'm saturated.
Specific questions:
- Is the overall speed/bpm okay or off?
- Are there time stretches in the voice that make it impossible to overlay a fixed beat?
- Would you accent it like this?
I myself am not very good rhythmically. A bit ironic for a flamenco aficionado, I know. It is my understanding that Martinetes/Tonás/etc can be free flowing, since they're acapella, but they also should follow a Seguiriya-like pattern, and some recordings have an anvil-hit beat overlayed (my guess that it's edited, not sure).
Perhaps my question should rather be: would this be considered an abomination of a missed rhythm, or rather, would it be passable for a minigame in a videogame to not nail this 100% perfectly?
My game is a one-man-developed indy game, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but I also don't want to make musicians (or generally people with good rhythm) cry or revolt when they get to this part of it.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: here's a recording of what it looks like in-game, although it's a bit laggy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JYZAeaEHA
