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
The second drag is the hard one: your hand has just played grace notes and must do it again immediately. Keep both drags identical in width and volume. Traditional feel is a lilting 6/8; practice it there first because the compound pulse gives the drags room to breathe.
Where you'll hear it
6/8 marches and traditional rudimental solos, where its rolling, ornamented feel is a signature sound.
