- In this lesson series, Vic Firth artist and Education Team member Dr. John Wooton breaks down the 40 Essential Rudiments in easy to understand concepts. This video covers the Drag (or Ruff).
Grace notes are ornamentations and that is what the two notes on the drag are. "Ghost Notes" is a term used by mostly set players to describe the softer taps within a phrase. Drum corps folks may call these "Inner Beats."
That is correct Frodo. We actually re-filmed this lesson because there is technically a distinction between a ruff and a drag. I am not sure when the new video will make it on the site. However, many people will argue that the two terms are interchangeable. Lots of drum and fife players insist that llR or rrL is a "Ruff." But technically that is a drag and a ruff is rlR or lrL. Sorry for the confusion.
Ten years have passed. Was the new video released? 🙂
I am really liking these RUDIMENT LESSONS..... especially appreciate you showing these rudiments FAST and SLOW... good advice for drummers to practice SLOWLY
what i would like to see on this kind of videos is the application for the drumset, something to give me more ideas and keep me inspired, the way it was explained however was great and the interpretations is for sure something to really dig in and explore

I do play drum set and I will play drum set in some of the videos to follow. However, the purpose of these videos is to introduce the rudiments to those that are just learning them and to perhaps demonstrate some different applications.
thankyou so much for your videos :) they have helped so much! youre an amazing drummer! i hope to be as good as you some day!!
So, a Drag is kind of like a Flam with an extra grace note?
Yeah, exactly.
wow man I am so glad you said that! I love thinking about it that way now!
Pretty much
My teacher explained it like that, but I didn't really learn it because it wasn't necessary for me to learn it
muito bom. Excelente aula. Obrigado
@johnwooton your solo music is very interesting to listen to :)
super helpful, ty!
Thank you!
@johnwooton oh you ARE? well that's cool! i allways thought that the very technical marching guys only focused on the snare.
@allmetaliswelcome That is true in many cases. I teach percussion, rudiments is just my foundation. In fact, these days I mostly play steel pans and vibraphone. Oh yeah, and sing. Check out my band's videos on my web site. johnwooton(dot)com
You play those flam ruffs whether open or tight with such EASE....
@allmetaliswelcome Thank you
is there a speed recommended on the metronome to practice ?
Leel Mag Not really, its a grace note so the objective is to get the two strokes in before the main note.
sounds like a galloping horse
@carcassgrindcorpsesc he isn't a drumset musician
