Hi Bob,

I'd write what I wanted the drummer to play without indicating that there is a contrasting (conflicting) rhythm in the bass part. If the saxophones have quarter note triplets, and the trombones have quarter notes, we don't feel any need to cue that in the parts.

My music is full of such differing subdivisions, and my players have learned to expect them.

Thanks to Chuck, Christopher. & Carl:

My question was about indicating what the bass player is playing if his part switches to something other than playing time. I talking about the bass part have cross rhythms.
