SIMPLE COMBINATIONS OF 2 & 3

Here are some simple combinations of rhythms in 2 and 3.

|1 2 3 4 5 6|1 2 3 4 5 6|
|O   t   O  |t   O   t  | high
 r   l   r   l   r   l
|O   t t   t|O   t t   t| low
 r   l r   l r   l r   l

|1 2 3 1 2 3|1 2 3 1 2 3|
|S     S    |S     S    |high
 r     l     r     l
|O   O   O  |O   O   O  |low
 l   r   l   r   l   r


If someone is playing this:  |1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &|
                             |B     O B   O  |  

And, you play a ternary hockett:

1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 etc.
O S   O S   O S   etc. the result is

|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &|
|O S   O S   O S|  O S   O S   O|S   O S   O S  | 
|B     O B   O  |B     O B   O  |B     O B   O  |

if you play the hockett by the pulse, not the beat.
