Reverse Triplet Moving In Groups Of Three

This lessons follows on from our Reverse Triplet Sticking lesson. It will be much easier to follow if you are familiar with the content from that lesson.

As with all rudiment exercises, orchestrating is an important step. In the exercises presented on this page you will learn six orchestrations for the reverse triplet that all involve moving in groups of three. This means that on every numbered count you change voicing, in exactly the same way you did with the Single Stroke Triplet.

Feet have been included in all exercises but only as quarter notes. For this orchestration concept it is acceptable to use the same drum twice within a bar as long as two groups of three aren't played on the same drum in a row. For example '3x Snare, 3x High Tom, 3x Mid Tom, 3x Snare' is acceptable but '3x Snare, 3x Snare, 3x High Tom, 3x Mid Tom' is not. Remember to use the double stroke triplet sticking through each exercise.
