The Triplet Reveille Stroke is often used in Reveille compositions and therefore in Swiss literature linked to the Reveille rudiment family. As all Reveille strokes, it is a combination of double strokes which are played piano and major strokes with forte accents to profile the rhythm and characteristic of the rudiment. The Triplet Reveille Stroke should start with a tempo of 60 quarters per minute and after continuous accelerating end with a tempo of 88 (6/8-time, dotted quarters per minute). It is important, to play the grace notes piano and rhythmical as mentioned, however, the major strokes are played forte and rhythmical as written. I In the final tempo, the grace notes can be played in three different styles:

– Evenly spaced and hence aim for a triolic sound

– a small pause before the grace notes and therefore aim for a “swing” (mostly played like this at Swiss drum competitions)

– bind the grace notes to the following main stroke, aiming for a very neat style

For all three different styles, the rhythm of the main strokes must be respected.

In Swiss drumming, the Triplet Reveille Stroke often occurs in traditional Reveille compositions, which have been often used for traditional military reasons.
