Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Repost: Swiss army triplet?
rLLR is easier to play because you are most likely right handed. Practice rudiments more then with the left hand to strengthen it.

Just noticed that rLLR is much easier for me to play than lRRL. I can play the former fairly effortlessly without having practiced it virtually at all, so that it has a "good groove", but most instructors on Youtube seem to start with latter. So, perhaps I've been a left-handed military drummer in some possible former lifetime?? LOL!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Repost: Swiss army triplet?
Of course we use the flammed version. And these days a lot more than was in traditional rudimental drumming. To indicate a flam in ASCII it would probably work better this way: rLLR IOW, a lower case "R". Or you could have posted the image. Also in solos the last note might be played on the bass drum. so rLLB.
