How to count and tap this rhythm? Seems like a polyrhythm - triplet notes that go for 2 quarter notes in 3/4 time signature? I don't know how to practice for this type of rhythms
I didn't read all the comments but let me see if I can help with the discussion:
First thing to consider is 6/8 (or 9/8, 12/8 etc) doesnt necessarily need to have a triple feel. Some folk music are writen in 9/8 but the performance can have something more of a 2+2+2+3. Still I would notate the bar as 9/8;
Having said that lets forget about the triplets of this example for a moment. Lets say this 6/8 is a 2+2+2 group. That would definetily feel like a 3/4 but you can still write in 6/8, where the second beat falls under the second half note of the second 2 group. Those triplets only means those 2 groups now have three notes, And trying to count that as a normal 6/8 beat (as in two beats per measure with a triple feel) makes really hard, because the result of this triplets in a 6/8 is a very nasty polyrithm (if you try to count in a triple feel). Normally I would count the half notes to try to get this done and forget about 6/8 as in two beats.
If I would to notate that, I would definetily give the musician a metronome indication in quarvers (halfnotes) to get a better feel on the duration of each half note group. The fact the metronome indication is in quarter note makes it even harder. I mean pretty mean exercise.
But after looking for a while, I do think it is correct notation although Ive never seen something like that or would ever write this way. That at least my interpretation of this.
In jazz there is a lot of it even in 3/4 where you have to insert a triplet into 2 beats So I count it like this: I play two trills very slowly normally and then I calculate every two sounds into one sound and then it comes out exactly to me
