The easiest place to begin with is simply tapping your foot and counting the subdivisions:
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + a
-snip-
The point is, both exercises play the main beats, and and ah pulses. Your hands will alternately coincide with your foot in both exercises.

Hi Dave,
Are there other parts or patterns that you feel comfortable moving from duple-pulse to triple-pulse and vice versa?

Absolutely! You just have to shift the alternating patterns so that you begin your strokes on the pulse immediately after beat 1, instead of beginning on one.

Thanks Niall,
That's very gratifying to hear. It's also good to see our postal services working so well. I think I mailed the book less than a week ago!
