Listen to Frank demonstrate one way to play this at 70 beats per minute…

Performance Tips: 1. No flams between left and right, 2. The 1/8th rests in the bass are notes, too. Give them their full value, 3. Play the triplet figure smoothly and evenly and don’t be tempted to rush it, 4. Focus on and lock in with the bass player.
