Learn How To Play The Single Drag Tap On The Drum Set!
This lesson is on the single drag tap. Remember, a drag is very subjective. You can have loose sounding drags and tight sounding drags. You want to practice them in a variety of ways. Eventually you will develop a feel for which way sounds best on which occasions. Left hand drag, right hand tap, right hand drag, left hand tap. Remember to alternate lead hands. As always, get the sequence down before you worry about developing the rhythm and building up speed.
After a rudiment review on the snare, exercises 1 and 2 provide a couple examples of the rudiment by itself before exercises 3 and 4 add a lead in drum beat and use the rudiment as a fill. Those last two examples can be rather complicated, so take your time and play them slowly. You can also watch the video to see me play them in slow motion.
