Just wondering if a seasoned player could please answer me these riddles three
(actually there are just two- and im sure they can be dealt with swiftly
'+' = (spoken) 'and'
Rudimental Ritual
1. When performing the ratamacues there are triplets which begin on beat 2 and 4. With the bossa nova feet ostinato beneath I hear straight quavers (8ths) and count 1 2+ 1 2+ (or 1 2+ 3 4+).
My problem and question is- what happens to the bass drum on the up beat (+) of 2 and 4? is it interpreted as swung so bass drum is on the 'let' of 2 and 4, or does it stay straight and fall between the 'trip' and the 'let'?

2. When quavers (8ths) and quaver triplets (1 t l 2 t l ..) are notated on pages 8 and 9 are the quavers interpreted as triplets?
For example the first exercise is notated as four straight quavers (R L R L) followed by 6 triplets (RLR LRL).
Would you / do you / are you supposed to swing the four quavers?
i.e 1 - let 2 - let 3 trip let 4 trip let
Ive been playing it both ways ( 1+ 2+ 3 t l 4 t l ) and (1 let 2 let 3 t l 4 t l) but i would like to know the correct way
Thanks in advance for your help!
