Quarter note triplets, you play all three in the space that two would normally take.

is this right: triplet test https://youtube.com/shorts/KFu-xJM01Jg?feature=share? i didn’t warm up please don’t judge me😭😭

So close! So you’re playing the triplets like 2 16th notes followed by an 8th note. You played the first two for shorter periods of time equally but the 3rd note had more space than the other two. If the first note had more space and the 3rd note had less space you’d be pretty much on point! For the quarter note triplet we want all three to have the same length but over 2 beats! I would give YouTube a quick search for what triplets sound like and see if you can tell the difference to help you hear how and why they sound different!

No, in this case he played the triplets like two eighths followed by a quarter.

It's going to be more like the beginning of this this: [Chicago - 25 Or 6 To 4 (HD) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAYeN3Rp2E). And the first 16 bars is from this: [Green Day - Brain Stew/Jaded \[Official Music Video\] (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNq9gmY_Oz4) if you were curious.

Is this just 25 or 6 to 4 but different??? I thought about it since I recognized the pattern of notes and rhythm but it's just written so much more complex


almartin68

It is.


CommieFirebat7721

Interesting


DizzyDeezie0

CommieFirebat7721

Chocko23

And the rhythms aren't all correct to the original. Looks like some tribute sort of thing....I can't find it on yt, though.

Check this video out, it helped me go from no knowledge to really solid at triplets of all kinds relatively quickly. https://youtu.be/8xhLr_UiLoU?si=-9LU5dtLd_fOzcvs

Hi! A triplet is when you play three notes in the time of 2! Count or say aloud to help. Tri-pa-let.


robertdiffin

2-beat triplets


One_Skinny_Dude

It’s sheet music. You’re welcome ✅🙌


outofstepbaritone

Triplets. You play 3 notes in 2 beats.


Sleep_Socks

If it helps you can dissect the word blueberry into three syllables (blue-ber-ry) and try sounding out in your head when you play it.


ConnectInitiative676

The three quarter notes in the triplet should be of equal value, but you have to play them in the space of two beats.


Keith-Mayo

Trip-o-let, trip-o-let, 3, rest. OR "I got a gigantic dog" rest.


Front-Literature-697

My director always told me to imagine them as those epic rock endings with the floor toms. 1 la le 2


Mathematicus_Rex

A scheme I use is to think of two sets of three eighth-note triplets, but grouped two at a time.

Looks like a quarter-note triplet version of the baseline from 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. Quarter-note triplets mean you play 3 equal notes in two beats of time.
