Double-time fill in Jazz?

[sciomako]

Hi,

Beginner question.
I understand the basic time keeping patten in Jazz is triplet:

one-trip-let two-trip-let three-trip-let four-trip-let

If i want to double the time in a fill, how should the beats be divided? In rock, I just play 16th notes. What do I play in Jazz? (Does my question make sense?)

i believe you are talking about sextuplets

and i find it a whole lot easier to count triples like this

1 iz ah 2 iz ah 3 iz ah 4 iz ah

So I play 6 "beats" per quarter note. I see.

Thanks

If you were to double time it it would be:

1 2 ah 3 4+ah4+ah 1 2 ah 3 4 ah

At least that's how my teacher shows me how to count 16th triplets.

I dont really understand all that well. What do you mean by double time fill? A fill that implies double time? Or just a fill using sextuplets (Those are twice as fast as triplets)?

Theres youre answer then. As sixteenth notes relate to eigth notes (twice as fast), sextuplets relate to triplets.
