The flam is a great rudiment to embellish your drum fills and an excellent stick control exercise. In this video, Simon shows you how to develop the technique to play smooth, balanced, and effective flams. As always, we discuss technique, practice, and application. In the commentary, we refer to "dynamic strokes," further addressed in Course 1, Lesson 20.
