This is a great beat/ fill to use when you want a song to go from
4/4 into a 3/4 section and then back to the 4/4 part. I\'ll just use
some simple but cool sounding beats to make it a bit easier.

    |----play--3x----|
 |Cr|----------------|--------------------|
 |HH|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|x-x-x-x-------------|
4|Sn|----o-o--o--o-o-|----o---f-f-------oo|
-|t |----------------|------------f-f-----|
4|T |----------------|----------------f---|
 |FT|----------------|--------------------|
 |Bd|oo-o---oo--o----|oo-o--o-------------|
     1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 t l 4 t l
                              < triplets >  
now for the 3/4, the pulse is the same as the triplets in the 4/4
measure, so the triplet and comparative 4/4 counting is under 
the 1+2+3+.

a    1 + 2 + 3 +  1 + 2 + 3 +
b    1 t l 2 t l  1 t l 2 t l 
c    1  +  2  +   1  +  2  + 

And then you use line c to count yourself back into 4/4. Hope someone
can use this to help themselves.
