It's basically a 3v4 polyrhythm. Do a search of the forum for polyrhythms and you'll get lots of useful advice.

True, although it doesn't look like a very good place to start if he's never encountered one before. By the time you're tackling those kinds of demands, it ought to be second nature to do a standard cross-rhythm.
