Once you’re comfortable moving your hands around the kit in basic voicings, you can substitute one (or more) hands for a kick.  This is the most basic of placements, cycling through the last two voicings and an even smaller voicing.  You will need to become more creative with smaller subdivisions like 16th note triplets, you’ve got to move quick and be careful not to get tangled up.
