Triplets can be created on any note value. A sixteenth note triplet is three sixteenth notes sung evenly across the space usually taken by two sixteenth notes. This means that the triplet grouping lasts for the same duration as an eighth note.
It is common for two sixteenth note triplets to occur together as a group of six notes across one quarter note beat. The following example demonstrates sixteenth note triplets on one note. As with previous note values, practice it with your metronome. To count a sixteenth note triplet, say ta ka ta, for two sixteenth note triplets across a beat, say ta ka ta ta ka ta. Sixteenth note triplets are often used in Rap and Hip-hop.
