Supplement 25C: Applying Flams To 2-Bar Hand To Hand And Category 1 Stickings In 12/8 | Part 3 of 5

Continuing the development of flam strokes, hand-to-hand and Category 1 sticking are applied to 2-bar accent phrases presented earlier in the course. Keep grace notes low to the head, prepare accents with the proper lifting motion, and remember that 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 as relaxed as possible on phrases with several notes in a row in the same hand (Supplement 25C). Observe how each hand executes the phrase, separating the hands if it helps improve the motion.
