You might also decide to lead into the full stroke with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/multiple-bounce-roll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buzz<\/a> rather than two distinct notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what a single drag tap sounds like:<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soundslice.com\/slices\/xVjkc\/embed\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>You can use this tool to practice along at the tempo that\u2019s best for you (it&#8217;s the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drumeo members<\/a> use when practicing with the 3000+ play-along tracks inside our members area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/how-to-read-drum-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here if you want to learn how to read drum music<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tips\" style=\"color: #0b76db;\"><strong>Tips for playing the single drag tap<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge in mastering this rudiment is distinguishing between the grace notes and the primary note.
