The Pad – Exercise 3
Being the third edition of our The Pad exercises, I see it only fitting to focus on the threes this week -- Triplets!
DownloadTiming triplets correctly can be difficult when they’re surrounded by regular sixteenth notes or eighth notes. Take note of the difference in feel that #1 and #2 have compared to the rest of the exercises in this PDF. The first two exercises are all eighth-note triplets. The remaining exercises surround the triplets with sixteenth notes or eighth notes. I recommend practicing these along with a metronome to ensure you’re playing in time.
I’d also like to thank those of you who have taken the time to give me your feedback on the first two “The Pad” exercises. Your feedback is very helpful as we plan and create new content. Much appreciated!
