Have you ever studied Mike Longo's material, the Polyrhythmic Nature of Jazz? He talks about all the different layers of triplets and tuplets that go beyond the typical eighth note triplet that is commonly taught in jazz pedagogy. CD Ladzekpo rooted everything within the West African conception of polyrhythm. The quarter note triplet, the offset quarter note triplet (starting on the "and" after the downbeat), and the slow three. Funny how I often hear these rhythmic concepts spoken about most by bassist and not drummers...definitely not jazz guitarists ;( We all gotta be responsible for that time, feel, and pulse!
