Welcome to ultimate drumming.com I'm Jim McCall. I'm going to show you this really fantastic sounding triplet Phil. First I'm going to play it for you. Then I'm going to break it down note by note and show you how it works. A 123 In order to play these great sounding fills, you got to be thinking triplets. triplets are a grouping of three notes.
I count triplets, evenly, evenly, evenly evenly. I play on every syllable that I'm saying. It's gonna go like this evenly, evenly evenly. I'm going to add the bass drum on the numbers, the quarter notes, which would be the E of every evenly that I'm saying. It's going to go like this. What to evenly evenly In this particular pattern, I'm going to play one triplet on one drum and then move to another drum and apply the second triplet, third triplet on another drum, fourth triplet on another drum.
I'm going to start with the right hand on the big Tom. Gonna play right left, right, and then over to the snare drum, left, right left. It's gonna go like this evenly, evenly three. Since triplets have three notes, and I'm alternating the strokes, then each triplet that I began will be starting with the opposite hand. In other words, if I start with the right hand on the big time, It's gonna be a snare drum right? You have to be a little bit careful and plan ahead when moving around the drums playing an individual triplet on a different drum.
Otherwise you can get tied up in the knot and we'd have to call 911. To get you on tangle. So the idea is to work these up, develop a little bit of speed, you can try different patterns. I'm going to do a backwards z pattern, but go like this. Now, the idea is Pick up a little bit of speed with these. And a great way to practice would be to combine these triplet fills with a shuffle beat.
So I'm gonna play two measures triplet to measure shuffle beat. It's gonna go like this. And there it is another fantastic eighth note triplet fill that you can add to your drumming repertoire. I'm Joe McCall. Thanks for watching. I'll see you soon at ultimate drumming calm
