If you have watched Special Feature Video Part 9, you will be familiar with the drag. Now it's time to add these to our drum fills and complete our four core rudiments. A drag is essentially a double stroke followed by a single stroke. We've played flams already, so that's our core four! Singles, doubles, flams, and drags! If you are yet to watch SFV Part 9, do yourself a big favor and take a step back, watch it, and practice before attempting this lesson and the accompanying audio files. You can't build a skyscraper by starting on the 10th floor.
