I'm taking a little poll. It's 4 questions related to linear triplets. I'm just curious, as usual, as to the defaults people default to, or if you switch your linear triplets up. I'm just starting serious work on linear trips with the metronome. I always default to left hand lead, only because I like the sound of linear trips the best that way, so that's how I decided to practice them. They never came easy for me. I only really know how to actually use them at gigs one way, with a LH lead. Getting the first 3 trips placed just right is the hard part for me. Once they're going, I got it.
On to the poll.
1. Are you right or left handed?
2. Do you play your linear triplets the same every time? Meaning do you start with the same limb every time, or do you use different "limbings" (substitution for the word "stickings")
3. Which limb do you start with on your default setting? (only if you only do them the same way every time) Why? (very curious to your answers here)
4. If you play your triplets the same way all the time, are your "limbings"...
a. R,L,K
b. L,R,K
c. K,L,R
d. K,R,L
e. Something else (please specify)
They're the main questions I'm interested in. Any other tricks, suggestions, ways of thinking about triplets, uses of triplets, comments, ways of practicing them, or anything else related to triplets are welcome.
My answers:
1. Right
2. For now, the same
3. Left, because I prefer how they sound that way compared to the other permutations.
4. b.
Much respect to anyone who can use the 4 permutations interchangeably as they see fit, on the fly.
