Supplement 24D: Applying Flams To 2-Bar Hand To Hand And Category 1 Stickings In 4/4 | Part 2 of 4

Continuing the development of flam strokes, these exercises apply flams to sticking and accent phrases presented earlier in the course. Keep grace notes low to the head and prepare accents with the proper lifting motion; two or more accents in succession with the same hand use a whip accent followed by a wrist accent, unless there’s time to prepare another whip stroke. Stay relaxed, especially through the Category 1 sticking passages that put several notes in a row in the same hand, and apply the flat flam concept when voicing the principal note on the cymbals, supported by the bass drum (Supplement 24D).
