Offbeat Triplets (the "un-performable" rhythm)
Added 2017-05-18 17:16:58 +0000 UTCQuarter note triplets starting from the + of 1 are tricky and weird, and studying them can give great insight into the subtle psychology of how music is written.
In graduate school, one of my professors wrote this rhythm up on the board and challenged us to figure it out. I couldn't, so I brought it home and showed it to my drummer roommate, who immediately broke it down like you see it in the video. It's tricky, but breaking things down to their component parts can aid in performing really weird rhythms like this one.
Peace,
