The Flam

The Flam

The Flam is named after the sound the sticks make as you play it. ​​This is 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
