Lessons ยท Unit 11: Rhythm III
Triplets
A triplet fits three equal notes where two would go: three eighths in the space of one quarter. It is marked with a 3 and a bracket over the group.
The classic mistake is playing it as dotted eighth + sixteenth, which is a different thing: a triplet is perfectly even, three equal strokes inside the beat.
