On the other hand, a left hand flam is played using the left hand.įor you to play more advanced rudiments, you will need to learn the foundational pattern known as the basic flam. Play the primary note with the right hand if you are playing the right hand flam. The grace notes are the smaller notes and are usually connected to the primary note via what is known as a tie. You should focus on quality and consistency (hand-to-hand flams) when practicing Flam. Another tip is to avoid playing “double stops” popularly known as “flat flams”. In order to achieve great sounding flams, the secret lies in positioning your drum stick low each time you are getting ready to execute a grace note.
It is this technique that produces the longer and thicker sound that comes with the flam. Since they are played at different heights, the drummer should target hitting the primary on the surface of a practice pad a little after the grace note. The primary note is the loudest and highest one, and the grace note is the one with the softer and lowest sound. This rudiment is made up of two single strokes played at diverse heights. The flam plays the role of generating a longer and thicker sounding note in comparison with the single stroke. The Flam is among the 3 basic strokes, the remaining two being the single stroke and double stroke.
