Start by playing the bass drum on counts 1 and 3, the hi-hat on all the 8th notes, and the snare drum on counts 2 and 4. Drum BeatsĮxercise #1 is a rendition of the basic 8th note rock drum beat. Starting with the drumsticks at different heights should be enough to avoid this. This is called a “flat flam” or a “double stop”. You may end up playing the grace note at the exact same time as the primary note. A left hand flam is the exact opposite – primary note played with the left hand.įor developing great sounding flams, the grace notes have to be played as close as possible to the primary stroke, and with the drumstick positioned very close to the surface of the drum. Playing a primary note with the right hand is called a right hand flam. The grace notes should be consistent from hand-to-hand, as should the primary strokes. The smaller notes are grace notes, which are always connected to the primary note through a tie. The sheet music below has a very good flam exercise for practicing flam quality and consistency. Therefore, we encourage you to devote some of your time to developing the single stroke roll and the double stroke roll as well. The flam, alongside the single stroke roll and the double stroke roll are the fundamental patterns of the 40 drum rudiments. The grace note has no rhythmic value, because it can be played closed or open – depending on the type of sound you wish to achieve. Because of the difference in heights, the primary note should hit the surface of the drum or practice pad slightly after the grace note, producing a thicker and longer sounding note. The highest and loudest note is called primary note, and the lowest and softest one is called grace note. It incorporates two single strokes played at different heights. The flam has the purpose of producing a thicker and longer sounding note.
