In this lesson you will be learning some simple accent placements for the standard triplet. In all of the exercises presented on this page you will only be accenting with left hands. Remember when accenting to make the note with the '>' symbol above it louder than the rest. You can achieve this by lifting your stick slightly higher than normal and pushing down with it a little more.
Various different combinations of this movement have been given below. Remember to use the standard triplet 'R L L' sticking throughout.
