Double Drag Tap

What is a double drag tap?

The Double Drag Tap adds an extra drag to create a denser pattern. The basic structure is:

  • Two drags followed by a tap: llRllRL or rrLrrLR
  • Accent on tap at the end of each triplet
  • Creates a rolling sequence with a distinct triplet feel

Precision in grace note control is what can make or break this rudiment. Start slow and focus on:

  • Clean, quick grace notes
  • Strong accents on the taps
  • Even spacing between drags
  • Smooth flow to the tap
