The Flam

The Flam is named after the sound the sticks make as you play it. ​
​This what The Flam looks like written in drum music. R = Right hand L = Left hand. 

TIPS:

• The Flam sounds like it looks; one small note followed by a big note

• Start with your left stick close to the drum skin and your right stick raised - bring your hands down together. Then reverse.

• The flam notes are too close to be two notes but far enough apart not to be one note
