I barely managed to keep my foot going counter-clockwise, but it was by no means moving in a circle. This was also after about 5 tries. I could probably get it down if I spent time on it.
Oh yeah, I'm a drummer, been drumming since I was 8. One of the first things my drum teacher had me learn to do was to hold my arms in front of me, parallel to my chest, and then rotate them in opposing directions. (So you can have your right and left arms do different thigs at the same time, e.g. play different rhythms) This is kind of like that.
