Triplet Combinations
A Tribute to Dave Weckl
Dave re-popularized this triplet concept on drums in the 90's and
took it to a new level with his flawless execution and brilliant use
of dynamics.
Drummers shouldn't underestimate the importance of this lesson as
it will
lead to greater independence and freedom on the drumset.

L = Left Hand

Practice
Ideas
- Work them individually on drums. Gradually and cleanly
work up to speed.
- Mix them up. Use your imagination! Start by playing A and B back to back.
- Move these around to all drums and cymbals – left to right, etc.
- Practice "continuous flow". Keep triplets going the whole time even while
pausing between exercises.
- Try all examples with left foot on high hat or left bass drum pedal.
- Mix doubles with singles, odd groupings, etc. as you
play them around the drums.
