Yes i think its the swing patter u said, i wanna know how to write it in music, so u say they are like 32nd notes but that they sound like 3 by 3's cause of the speed they are played at?

[mrbateman00]

If I understand you correctly. It's either a "dotted quarter" note -the jazz swing pattern. Or you actually mean a triplet beginning on 1. Basically, the Swing pattern is such until you reach a very high tempo then it turns to triplets. Look-up a Be-Bop jazz book and you'll find it. Dotted quarter followed by two 16's to complet the beat may be a better way to describe. Also, in jazz you "swing" just like a shuffle, as opposed to the exact way it's written which is straight...like rock music.

how to play speed triplets on the ride

that go like "Tzz T T Tzz T T Tzz T T Tzz"

what is this kind of beat called

and how to write them in music notation?

i need to know how they are called at least so i can search how they are written in music notation because i want to write a beat of my own with it and then memorize where the notes fall in a polyrithmic beat
