It's also interesting to see that not one person placed the kick on the 2nd partial. You humans are interesting.
Someone did though:
hyruleherojoe said:Hey Larry! This is a great post as triplets are my favorite thing to whip out while drumming.
1) Right Handed
2) I play the triplets differently whenever I feel the need to. I have no preference, but I lead with the left only if the kick follows right after.
3) Default setting would be RLK, it just seems to flow naturally for me.
4) I actually change it up as much as possible. I love starting with LKR then just doing whatever else.
A good lick I love doing is LKRLKRLK LKRLKRLK play them as 16 note triplets or what have you.
Me:
1) Right Handed
2-4) I mostly play mixtures of RLK and LRK. I like to accent one hand and play
the quiet one on the snare drum, so RlK and LrK.
I also like to mix up 3 note figures and 4 note figures in triplets, like RllK, rrLK
or RKLK. Or also the famous RLKK of course.
On the other hand, playing the "triplets" as 16ths or 32s is interesting, too.
