We can use George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control book to gain independance by first taking each sticking
and converting it to triplets, then changing them to hand to foot combinations and eventually playing that
under a jazz ride.
The following exercises show what numbers 1, 3, 5 and 10 would look like when converted to triplets. The part written for the right hand is played with the right foot on the bass drum and the left hand part is played on snare.
