Do you guys have a list of 16th note triplets variations?

I've been searching for hours online for these kind of permutations but I can only find 16th/dotted 8th note variations. If you can post this information to me that would be great; it could benefit the forum in some way too... but more importantly me.

I'm not sure of the musical value of the exercise, but in these times of lockdown there is time for messing about with all sorts of things one would not normally entertain, so...
Within a 1/4 beat there are 6 x 1/16T, each of which can be a note or a rest. That's (2^6 =) 64 possible combinations of 16T notes and rests within a single crotchet beat. See attached. Each beat on page 1 contains one of the 64 possible combinations of 1/16T notes and rests. Page 2 is the same pattern but with rests within a beat merged to make longer notes. So that's another 64 combinations. If any one beat in a measure of 4/4 can use any of these that's 512 possible combinations, and that's without ties across beats and bar lines...
Have fun...

Where did that come from?

Can I ask what you intend to do with it?

Rhythm practice. Im trying to work on as many rhythmic combinations as i can.The more I have these combos under my belt the better my rhythm would be. I spend like an hour a day solely on rhythm; that's how important rhythm is to not just rhythm section players but to all musicians/singers/rappers.

It helps a lot with figuring out the rhythm of a song/music part.
