Rewriting the very famous page 38 exercise from Syncopation, with all the syncopated rhythms replaced by approximately similar quarter note triplet rhythms. Someday I’ll forgo the bass drum line— which I include out of respect for Ted Reed, and never use in playing these pages— but not this day.

We’ll have to figure out what to do with this, beyond the obvious. Some of the usual things we do with Reed can be adapted to it. It’s not real interesting reading, it will take a little more thought to write something with some musical interest. Still: get your quarter note triplets together. And your 4:3lets, people almost seem to like writing those more than the triplets lately.
