3/4 Beats

Most music in western pop culture, and especially since the advent of rock'n' roll in the mid 1950's has four beats in each bar.  Occasionally we will find music with three beats and it is good to have some ideas of what we could play.
A Waltz is dance that became fashionable throughout Europe from the 1880's and continued though the 19th and 20th centuries.  Is has a strong emphasis on beat 1 with a lighter feel on beats 2 and 3 creating a fast boom, chick, chick sound that drummers can play with the feet  .
