Flams - Modern Drummer Magazine

Flams

The traditional flam is a principal note played from a high position preceded by a grace note played from a low position. The sound of a flam is a thick one ranging from “fa-lam” at the slow beginning stage to the sound of the word “flam” at the fast advanced stage. Take care that the grace note always strikes first and that you get a full, thick sound—regardless of how fast you play flams or flam rudiments.
