Triple Ratamacue

What is a triple ratamacue?

The Triple Ratamacue extends the ratamacue pattern even further by adding a third drag. The basic structure is:

• Sticking pattern is llRllRllRLRL and then rrLrrLrrLRLR
• Accent falls on the last note of grouping
• Creates an extended sequence with a  rolling triplet feel

This advanced rudiment demands precise drag control. Start slow and focus on:

• Quick, consistent grace notes
• Even spacing between drags
• Smooth flow through the pattern
