Rubber Triplets
Technique by Kirby Jacobsen // January 24 2013
Here’s another from my vault of homemade rudiments. It’s called “Rubber Triplets.” I guess the name came from looking at my wrists, which appeared to be rubber-like when performing this exercise. Rubber triplets are played with three notes on each hand. What’s great about this exercise is that you have to perform a wrist snap followed by a bounce stroke.
Play this and all rudiments at soft, medium and loud volumes. Start very slow and play it several times before speeding up.
Lock it in the pocket for the new year!
