Advanced - A Semi-polyrythmic Bell Pattern drums

Advanced - A Semi-polyrythmic Bell Pattern

Cb1 - Cymbal Bell One (preferably played with right hand, well, unless 
      Your left handed)
Cb2 - Cymbal Bell two 
  S - Snare drum
  B - Bass drum

Time Sig: 4/4

-This is a rhythm I came up with.  I got the idea for the bell pattern from a recording a friend of mine did.  This isn\'t REALLY polyrhythmic, but I am using the term loosely, because the bass drum is sort of doing its own little thing, separate from the bell pattern.  It\'s to be played at a tempo of around 153 for a cool groove.
-By the way, the bells are to be played in a basic triplet pattern (RLL RLL RLL RLL), in case you were confused by the way I attempted to type this out.  This wasn\'t easy to type out clearly, so, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them in the corrections section.

This bell rhythm sounds really cool with just about any other bass pattern as well, I just posted this one because of its slight polyrhythmic value, so free feel to experiment and have fun :).  Peace.

Fish.
