Looking for Triplet Feel Examples

[agreatheight]

I am looking for about 20 rock examples of songs that have a normal feel in most of the song but switches to a triplet feel in in certain parts (for example, the drum fill driven chromatic walk from D to E in Mountain Song by Jane's Addiction). Classic rock, modern rock, metal, I don't care, but I am looking for parts where the bass plays in both feels.

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked Black Sabbath? Also check out Psycho Man by Ozzy. I may be a little off base but I hope it helps. Check out songs by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Iron Maiden The Trooper and Metallica's Battery.

My bass instructor mentioned the solo section in Rush's Freewill as a good 8th and 16th note triplet feel example.

Check out just about any uptempo Rush tune before Power Windows, and you'll probably come across some triplets - those are one of Geddy's go-to structures, particularly in descending lines or to begin a short busy passage.

Roundabout by Yes.

It's good to be aware of the difference between "galloping triplets" and true triplets.
"Galloping triplets" are actually eighth-sixteenth-sixteenth groupings.

True triplets are three notes that have the same value.
If they're eighth-note triplets, then all three are played evenly spaced out for the duration of one quarter note.

I like to use Steve Harris as an example of both. There are many Iron Maiden songs in which which Steve uses the "gallop", and a few in which he uses true triplets.

Phantom Of The Opera uses true triplets, whereas The Trooper is galloping 8th-16th-16th groups.

As for songs which shift back & forth between triplets and quadruplets, I'm not quite sure. But, I've heard drummers do it more often.
