Single Drag Tap

What is a single drag tap?

The Single Drag Tap combines drags with taps in a flowing pattern. The basic structure is:

• Drag followed by a tap: llRL or rrLR
• Accent falls on the tap after the drag
• Alternates between hands

Mastering this rudiment depends on controlling the intensity of the grace notes, primaries, and accents. Start slow and focus on:

• Quick, light grace notes
• Strong tap accent
• Even tap spacing
• Smooth, flowing hand-to-hand motion
