Re: 16th note triplets on bass between 8th note high hat beats


Do you play heel toe? Doesn't sound liek it, so don't practice heel toe till you have it down...whatever other way you play, flat foot/jazz or heel up/rock. By 16th triplets...you mean sixlets? Always confuses me when people say 16th triplets. If you are talking about sixlets,...well play triplets/slower sixlets, either count em like a triplet or sixlet doesn't really matter, only difference is sixlet has 2x the notes/is 2x as fast basically. I'm still trying to fit steady+constant triplets/sixlets with 8ths up top, but I just mostly play for fun now n just jam out I guess on the set. Mostkly just work on rudiments

Iono what it's liek learning from a DVD cause I've had a teacher and book for the past...8-9 years so yea. The quick snips of different videos I've seen...well I couldn't learn like that, I need someone beside me slowing everything down and answering my questions. But for the sixlets, just keep practicing while keeping a steady beat up top unless you're good at keeping tempo without a constant.
