Description
There are 10 drag rudiments, and they are among the most challenging of all of the rudiments to play! Is it any wonder that they are the most underutilized rudiments in the drum set players arsenal? They can however be applied to the drum set in very musical and creative ways, and are an excellent source of technique building material!
As with all of the other classes on rudiments, you will learn each drag rudiment one at a time, and come to understand the foundational structure of each rudiment, along with the proper execution and some tips to master the drag including the individual sticking of each drag rudiment; which can be extremely difficult! If there is any group of rudiments that the drum set player could “pass on”, these are them, but for those of you who take the time to learn them, I believe you will find, as I have, that they will not only help you build greater levels of technique, but will help you stretch the levels of your creativity as you “reach” to find creative ways to incorporate them into your drumming artistry. Also included for download are the lessons files for practice and study.
