Tim, another great video. The Left lead version of the Flamacue can be useful when played as swung 8th's. The R.H plays the Ride cymbal and the L.H plays the Snare. You can add the bass drum when you play the right hand accent of the Flamacue. The phrase is 3 beats long .. so you can loop it for med-up tempo swing. Once the Right hand feels good.. you can orchestrate the left hand on the snare by buzzing each 1st note of the snare (left hand) and tapping each 2nd note. In essence the Left hand is playing Quarter notes anyway. You could also move the Left hand around the drum set too.
I agree Tim! The Flam Para Did did...no point. I guess thats why it isn't in the OG 13/26. I didn't like the Pataflas at first but hearing how you used it has changed my mind. Love the channel, you drums sound fantastic! Keep it up!
single drag tap (not really, but I prefer playing it as a tap drag) double drag tap (the PAS version - the dotted 8th-16th-8th version is slightly better) triple stroke roll (hard to get really even; I kinda neglected this rudiment) flam drag (hard; I definitely neglected this rudiment) flam paradiddle (hard; less useful in music, or maybe I lack imagination) flamacue (possibly the least useful rudiment, even if you play it with a ratamacue-esque triplet feel) flam paradiddle-diddle (I neglected this rudiment, and the fact that it switches lead hands throws me a bit; also, not useful) BTW, depending on who you ask, there is a difference between "flam paradiddle" and "flamadiddle". Just as the flammed 2nd inversion single paradiddle is called "single flammed mill" by PAS, the flammed 3rd inversion (diddle split across beats) is called "flamadiddle". (It's not as hard as it sounds - the sticking is lR L R L rL R L R, alternating hands like single strokes.) Strange that we never hear about a flammed 1st inversion...anyway, just a bit of semi-obscure rudimental trivia for you.
I always wondered how the flam paraddiddle-diddle got chosen as a rudiment. I used to make my students practice it under the guise of - if you can play this, you can play anything. Other than that, my least favorite is the flamaddidle, because it's the only rudiment that requires a quadruple stroke. And, I nominate the single stroke roll as the rudiment most likely to embarrass the player. BUT - how can you dislike the poor lowly flamacue? It's the one rudiment that swings!
Oddly enough the paradiddle is a rudiment I've always hated. Even though I use it all the time and know how useful it is I've always find it to be a pain in the ass to get up to speed on the snare drum.
On Your website I tried to buy Your offered PDF sheets but Your website system seems to have some technical problems. I have sent You a message but didn`t get any response via email. Please help. I would like to buy some stuff from Your website... Thanks and all the best... Tiho T.
And they say you should practice everything with the feet what you practice with the hands. Eh, no thanks. I'm not going to be practising no flam-a-diddles with my feet.
I'm not a big fan of Swiss Army Triplets. You can play them at ludicrous speed, but they tend to sound like a jackhammer, very stiff. My favorite rudiment is the Flam Accent, which you can also play at ludicrous speed, but with that nice swinging triplet feel.
Tim I agree with you here. My least favorite but also love "niceament" (I don't like my ments being rude. They should be nice. Knuck knuck knuck. Is the triple ratamacue in 6/8. Drags, triplets, eighth notes.... Wow.
great vid ans so true!
That snare bro 👌
Thanks!

Nice usage! RH starts to sound like the 3/4 ride pattern and you can come up with some cool orchestrations

I just started Wilcoxon All America..... to develop traditional grip and the flamacue is right there in solo 1.
It sure is!

Agreed on flam paradiddle diddles. Not very useful but helluva workout & hardest standard rudiment for me
Totally agree
Well played Mr. Metz.., Well played indeed…
Thank you, thank you.
I started using the pattaflafla between cowbell and snare with a dotted kick. It comes out latin
Yeah, you're right . .. we actually luv them all right?? ❤️
Absolutely

I hear ya for sure! Thanks for watching!
inverted flam tap
Now play all of them together in a solo?
I'm waiting...
😳
It's possible, just not musical. I'm with ya.

I love the Swiss Trips...I have even made some variations on them. Combine them with Flam Accents or Flam taps...loads of fun
I hate anything played as sixlets they’re sooo difficult to FEEL
