What is the best subdivision to be thinking/feeling when playing a samba or bossa foot ostinato while playing subdivisions of triplets w/ the hands (16ths trips, 8ths, quarters)? I am talking about the typical foot ostinato- B.D. on "& 1, & 3" H.H. on "2, 4".
It seems if you are feeling the 8th note more straight subdivision this clashes with the triplets, yet if you are feeling the triplets your foot might swing and want to match the hands. What is the best way to think / feel this? What subdivision should you be counting?
Also, to be more specific I am referring to the Rudiment Ritual in Alan Dawson's book.
