Listen "Pick Control 08: Flams"
Episode Synopsis
Here we go into one of the classic rudiments: Flams. These are not easy, so don't get discouraged. They're also not that necessary, but in my opinion they give you another cool tool for the kit. I demonstrate the attached exercises, and also talk about an instance of one of the patterns as it appears on this track with drummer Dan Weiss, who is doing the same pattern with his feet. The pattern starts about halfway through, at 2:57.
