  • Very helpful. Just one critiqie.

    You describe triplets as counted...One-Trip-Let, Two-Trip-Let..but switched to counting your triplets as One-And-Ah, Two-And-Ah...

    confusing to an amateur trying to follow along.

  • Yes, But at 40 sec I explain why I do this cause saying One-Trip-Let, Two-Trip-Let...etc is a mouthful!!! Thanks and enjoy

  • Excellent groove my man! Can I ask...all ghost are played on the 'trip' of one, trip, let? The on beat three the snare is hit followed by a ghost? So is it 2 snare hits immediately together? so...3 trip let...where the '3' is a beat and the 'trip' a ghost and the 'let' a hi hat? Hope this is clear LOL!?

  • YES!!! You have it, that is correct, beat 3 is the hardest because of the double stroke, Good luck!!

  • i can almost play this... but i have trouble with the feel of the ghosts...  what makes this half time? because of where the loud snare hits?

  • Hey, what makes it half time is the snare lands on beat 3. If the snare landed on 2,4 it would be a staight ahead pop shuffle. I hope this helps, just play it slow at first while counting triplets then bring it up to speed....Good Luck!!!
