Reversed hand order

I learned from the accompaniments of rhythms like Madan and Djansa that sometimes you have to reverse the hand  order if you want to play at a very high speed AND preserve the swing. 



The most typical example is for the 4/4 accompaniment. Notation + handorder:



S

Notice that the pairs marked with the red color become flams when you go fast enough preserving the swing.
