 It could be two things:
 
 1. If the 5-draw reed gap is set a little low, it may not respond quickly
 enough when you "hit" it. Try playing the 5 blow, 5 draw, 5 draw triplet
 rhythm all in hole 5. If the reed responds OK, then see #2.
 
 2. You may move your lips to hole 4 too quickly.  Practice the isolated
 triplet repeatedly...very slowly at first then gradually faster.  Think of
 them as three separate notes.
