"Now we're going to combine the quarter notes together with the triplets. The thing about the triplets is that they feel a little bit different then the 8th notes and the 16th notes do.

Here I have an exercise right now, we can play it together. 1 2 3 4. 1 and a 2, and a 3, and a 4, and a 1 2 3 and a 4, 2 3 and a 4. It's the quarter note together with a triplet."
