Lessons #26 Drum Rudiments 20: Flam


A flam is a single note with a grace note. The temporal distance between the grace note and the accented note vary from a 16th or 32nd note to almost nothing in popular and rock music.
A flam is a rudiment consisting of a quiet "grace" note on one hand followed by a louder "primary" stroke on the opposite hand. The two notes are played almost simultaneously, and are intended to sound like a single, 'broader' note.
