Take a look at this Glen Velez video if you haven't already

Right at approx. :48 seconds he starts doing a triplet pattern that starts getting faster while he does some pitch changing on the head.

Does anybody really KNOW how he's doing it?
My best guess is using Kanjira technique like Pete Lockett but somehow throwing in the the thumb

I'd like to start working this up but want to make sure I'm not building on flawed technique.

Anyone want to chime in?
