triplets against 5/8

omg dude…
hearing some music, a stready stream of unbroken fast 16th notes,
in groups of
6 followed by 4.

that is
onetwothreefourfivesixonetwothreefour
dotted quarter- quarter, that is.

5/8.
and yet…
I was playing triplets over it, three to a phrase…

which…. at least at this fast tempo…

is “so close to being the same…”
that it’s just trippy.

try this.

you are inclined to play
dotted 8th, dotted 8th (123 123)
then quarter (1234)

but, if you play THREE EVEN notes instead….
it is very close to being the same.

trippy.
