Page of basic 4:3 tuplet rhythms in 4/4 time— four quarter notes in the space of 3— with rests:
I don’t know what we’re calling the rhythm when written this way, but what it is is dotted 8th notes. I see them a lot in people’s original jazz tunes, and usually it suggests a floated rhythm in a swing or in a straight 8th ECM-type feel environment. In a real defined 16th note rhythm environment, I would more often expect the same rhythms to be written out normally as non-tuplet 8ths/dotted 8ths/16th notes/rests.
Here is the key— the same rhythm in equivalent values, and the played rhythm for the rests on each partial of the tuplet:
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
