Triplets are common vocabulary for us drummers, but are we equally comfortable with each of those 3 notes? In this lesson we're taking a deep dive into gaining more confidence with the 'forgotten' 2nd triplet!

While it sounds like a simple concept, it's deceptively tricky to pull out that 2nd triplet with confidence and without pulling back our pulse.
With these few simple steps we'll build up not only our 2nd triplet confidence, but the overall solidity of our syncopated triplet fills and phrasings.
