Rumble in the Jungle

Rumble In The Jungle by Andy16

The percussive riff at the beginning of this song has always been my favorite rhythm. It came from playing triplets on my right hand and eighth notes on my left. I have always loved the way duple meter and triple meter sound when played on top of each other. That's probably why most of my more recent compositions are written in 6/8.

This one, however, is written in 4/4. I took the triplets on the right hand and counted them of like they were eighth notes, and then the left hand just fell into place in that "every third" sixteenth note rhythm.

This is another piece composed in Finale
