This is example of the Flam Tap and how I use it as a warm-up.   Hello Billy Ashbaugh here with DrummerConnection.com and today we're going to look at the Flam Tap. Now, I posted a lesson recently on the Alternating Flam where we're going to do a right and left flam and get use to raising the other stick up ready for that primary accented note. Now I chose the Flam Tap next because it fits in perfectly with this already existing rudiment. With the Right Flam, as you strike down with the right and the left comes up, your going to tap again wit the right hand. And then with the left. In time, slow it sounds like this.

With that being said, there are several different exercises and or rudiments that involve the flam. We'll be covering a lot of them in the lessons to come, both here and out in the Drum Room. I'd like to get started with the alternating flam. We'll look at the right flam first. What's happening here, is the right stick is going to be up higher and play the accented note. The left hand, with the stick, is going to be about an inch or so off of the surface whether you're on the pad or the drum. What happens is, a split second before the right hand hits with the accented note, you're going to drop the left stick down quietly as a ghost note and i... more...
