I've been working on this a while, and the bottom line is that my KM left-lead-triplet-thing doesn't sound as good as other drummers' KM-left-lead-triplet-thing.
To give an example, take a listen to Roy McDonald's rendition at the 2:30 mark... There's a return fill, followed by several bars of the triplet lick. It sounds so full and energetic, and so much better than my attempts, that I can only conclude that I'm missing something and doing it wrong. I've tried slowing it down, but I'm still left guessing.
Can someone please explain what exactly he's doing there?
Note: For those wondering... Yes, that's Charlotte Caffey's daughter. Holy crap she sounds just like her mother.
