Dunno if this should be in the lesson section or here.
I heard this gospel drummer play a wicked lick at gospelchops.com ( they really have some awesome drummers there) and I thought it was a neat little thing to use as fills. Anyway, I just started working on it and recorded me 'attempting' to play it. I've explained on the mp3 what the hands and feet are doing. This is something you guys might like to try out and use. As I say I've only just started it so my timing and execution leaves something to be desired at the moment. Some are less clean than others, but hey, I doubt I'll be getting to use it much with my current band anyway.
Basically, if you played the whole lick on one surface, it would be sextuplets/sixteenth note triplets. There are 24 strokes being played over one bar which is exactly what 4 sextuplets amounts to.
Imagine counting the sextuplets like this for simplicity:
123456.123456.123456.123456.
Because of where each '3 over 1' and '3 over 2' patterns start, it gives a new rhythm across the sextuplets, as the patterns start on different notes in each sextuplet. That make sense? So where I've put ' ' is the start of each '3 over 1' and '3 over 2'.
You don't really need to know this bit but it might help you to hear the overall shape.
Like this : '1' 234 '5' 6.123 '4' 56.1 '2' 3456.'1' 234-56 | crash
3 over 1 is RLR foot ( '1' 234, '4' 56.1, '1' 234 )
3 over 2 is RLR foot foot.( '5' 6.123, '2' 3456 )
So it's 3 over 1,...3 over 2,...3 over 1,...3 over 2,..3 over 1,...then RL and crash.
Here's the recording. It's bitty but kind of shows you variations on how to orchestrate the patterns on different toms, hihat, snare, etc. Have fun with it

I wrote out the notation for it for the music savvy members, showing also the groupings of 3:2 and 3:1 .:)
