Double Drag Tap
llR llR L rrL rrL R
What it is
Two drags in a row, then the accented tap. Same idea as the single drag tap with one more drag stacked on the front.
How to practice it
Watch the second drag. Your hand just played grace notes and has to do it again right away. Keep both drags identical in width and volume. It was written to be played in 6/8. Practice it there first, since the compound pulse gives the drags room.
Where you'll hear it
6/8 marches and rudimental solos, and that rolling feel is a big part of how they sound.
All 40 rudiments are in DrumLock free, with notation on screen, a metronome, and a speed trainer that raises the BPM while you play. No ads, no subscriptions.
