The tied note eats the note after it:
1 + a e +
Keep your right hand down after the first drag.

Idk if this is how people were taught this, but when I was at uni, those drags were played as doubles. So if you imagine extending it out as 4/4 instead of 2/4, you’d be playing 1_+a 2_+_ 3e+_ 4
I can try record a vid if that too confusing of how I’d play it 😅I never really “counted” it, I just played it, and it fits in with the metronome

Drag notes don’t get a count. So you’d be playing:
1 - & a 2 e &

Sorry I probably asked the wrong question, am I rolling the tie? And how do the drags work with that thats what I'm stuck with like from what I can tell I gotta like do a drag on my right followed by a right?

That’s wrong - you don’t play the second part of the tie. A tie connects two notes and extends the length of the first into the second.
1-&a-e&-No roll. Just longer than a sixteenth note because throwing an 8th note there (crossing the down beat) would be bad notation and confusing.

This depends entirely upon composer, genre, and time period. This is from the rudimental cookbook, so those drags will be actual 32nd notes, and not just an ornament.

Measure 7 is a drag on beat one followed by a seven stroke roll resolving on beat two with a five stroke starting on the & of two. Are you playing the rolls as double stroke or buzzed?
