Dude, I am talking about the Big foot John Bonham Triplets. If you want to do it right, like Bonzo did, it has to be matched grip. Dave Wekl is technically leagues ahead of Bonzo, but he still can't do a descent triplet. Even the best drummer of all time Buddy Rich couldn't do the triplets I am referring to. Its not just hitting all the notes, its about soul and passion, and you can't do passionate triplets with traditional grip. Get over it. You will learn as you grow.
Don't have the balls? You're an idiot; that's at least one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read.
Secondly, you basically contradicted yourself in admitting anything can be done with either grip, thus reclaiming your original statement and saying that such triplets can be done with traditional, which I'm sure very well can be.
Yeah, you really have no idea what' you're talking about as it's possible to do EVERYTHING with traditional as with matched, which includes triplets.
In fact, I find the concept of triplets to be easier with traditional grip.

DUDE! You have NO idea what you're talking about!!
JUST because Buddy Rich DIDN'T play such triplets doesn't meant - AT ALL - that he CAN'T!
Secondly, it's been proven time and time again that you can do EVERYTHING with traditional grip that you can with matched.
It's simply all a matter of preference.

Dude,
I know Buddy can do matched grip Triplets, I have a video of it made in 1947.
Second:Time and Time again awesome Jazz players don't have the balls to play triplets like Bonzo did.
It FEELS different to play triplets with matched grip, to the player and the listener.
I play both grips and If I want to play some Big Foot Bonzo triplets, I'll do it matched grip, thank you .

Dude,
Prove to me a Jazz guy can do Bonzo triplets.
Video?
Put your money where your mouth is.
The great Jazz drummer Billy Cobham plays matched grip. Ask yourself why ?
I should have said Buddy doesn't do matched grip triplets, not that he can't do it. Buddy is the true genius and could do anything he wanted.
Its not that they CAN or CANNOT do it, I am talking about musical expression here. Can a classical guitarist sound like Eddie Van Halen ?
you're my little negative buddy...

Dude, it's not a matter of a Jazz guy who can, it's that it's COMPLETELY possible!
Also, don't call me "little" to try and make yourself seem bigger - that's pathetic, and I HIGHLY doubt you're even as tall or as big as me.
