Sledge Hammer

Sledge Hammer

Peter Gabriel’s vocal rhythms have a great pocket, and are pretty straight forward until the last measure of the pentultimate (2nd to last) system.  On count 2 of that measure, you only play on the middle partial of the triplet.  This is a little advanced compared to the rest of the exercise, so I tell my students not to worry about nailing it.  However, I do use it as an opportunity to introduce triplet and triplet partial concepts.
