drum beat using triplets and 8th notes!!!

Postby Stevedot2 on Sun Mar 16, 2008 3:03 pm

:shock:

This is not so difficult once you get the hang of it, and only play it really slow! I started trying to do this the other day, it's really interesting, but a bastard to play.

I know it's not written very well, yes the spaces in between do change size but they're not supposed to! Top line ride/hi hats, middle snare and bottom bass, obviously! Depending the speed you can just do the bass with one foot and keep time with the hihats using your foot.

That took me a while to get. Everytime I got the triplets right on the ride, I'd be hitting the bass 6 times instead of 4.
Got it eventually though!

What sort of speed? I can't get it going fast for shit. It's way easier using one foot for the bass too.

Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...
