David,
in playing the 4/5 draw dip....is the goal to pull the 4 and 5 down at the same time or just add a little of the 5?
also the 3/4 draw....pull both down at the same time or just add the 4?
I remember just adding a little of the higher notes for texture but going quickly...esp on the 3/4 it seems they are almost equally played..?
Thank you!

Either way is fine... dipping the lower note and then adding the upper as the lower releases or both at the same time... your choice.
