Skeleton sheet. This chapter has the metadata block and Core / Rotation / Reference tables but has not yet been rewritten to the shape of chapter-01.md and chapter-02.md—no first-session walkthrough, no worked advancement example, no per-exercise rationale. See chapter-template.md for the shape this sheet will take when filled, and DEVELOPMENT.md “Things to do later” for the outstanding propagation work.
Session role: focus block.
Every session opens with warm-up on the current R&L Ch. 1 exercises before you work this chapter. Baseline 30-min session: ~7–8 min warm-up (Ch. 1) → ~15 min focus (this chapter) → ~5–6 min application → ~2 min cool-down. Full detail in approach.md §6.
Fifth chapter of Stage 6 (approach.md §5). This is the triplet-feel companion to Ch. 17—triplet beats and fills of different lengths (1 to 4 bars), some continuous, some broken up. Like Ch. 17, it is a library to draw from rather than a checklist to work exhaustively.
R&L’s coaching for this chapter is brief and worth carrying every session: stay relaxed and focused, and if a beat is too difficult, feel free to move on and come back to it later. That explicitly permits rotating rather than grinding.
The bpm defaults come from the triplet-material row of approach.md §4 (start 40 bpm, target ~110 bpm). Because these are extended triplet phrases, expect the placement-focus tempos to sit lower than the endurance-focus tempos.
| Ex. | Section | Role | Start | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beats | First ternary beat (1-bar entry point) | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 5 | Beats | 1-bar ternary beat, second placement | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 17 | Beats | 2-bar ternary beat (entry point) | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 1 | Fills | First ternary fill | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 5 | Fills | Ternary fill variant | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| Ex. | Section | Role | Start | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Beats | 1-bar beat variant | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 31 | Beats | 2-bar beat variant | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 43 | Beats | 4-bar beat (entry point) | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 3 | Fills | Ternary fill variant | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
| 9 | Fills | Longer ternary fill | 40 bpm | 110 bpm |
Beats 2–4, 6–14, 16, 18–30, 32–42, 44–67 and Fills 2, 4, 6–8, 10 onward are the remaining library. R&L is explicit that you can move around freely—sample when a specific beat or fill catches your ear, or when you need a triplet-feel fill for another chapter’s application block.
Log this chapter’s work with the exercise number prefixed by 19. and the section identifier—for example 19.b1 60 bpm 5 min pass even for Beats exercise 1, or 19.f1 56 bpm 5 min near placement for Fills exercise 1. See approach.md §8.
