Slapping Help: Triplets?

[knuf]

Hey everybody!

Since a few months i really got into this slapping, because of the change of my musical taste (ie from Metallica to Marcus Miller haha).
I watched this Video on youtube:

And now my question is, how the hell is he doing those triplets?
I can do them with double thumbing, but that not the way how i want to get them..
He makes it looking sooo easy und so relaxed.. can anybody explain, how he's doin those triplets?
Is he just fast with his thumb or is he playing like "thumb-pluck-thumb" very fast? Well i actually don't htink so, but i guess you'll know better ;-)

knuf :P

Hard to say, looks like he's playing thumb, pluck {index finger} pluck {middle finger}
I usually do trips with thump, pluck, then choke hit with fret hand.

Hmm.. Not exactly sure how he's doing it, I'll try that line later and see if I can match the sound.

maybe
(play the first open e then go)
[thumb] [left hand down] [thumb now dead string] [index]
i know thats not a triplet, but thats kinda the feel im getting.

yeah, but that's not the way he gets those triplets, right?
i know that method, but i'm not very into it.
