Then replace the first note of each double with a flam. The rudiment name describes exactly what\u2019s happening: a flam, and then a tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what it sounds like:<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soundslice.com\/slices\/kVjkc\/embed\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>You can use this tool to practice along at the tempo that\u2019s best for you (it&#8217;s the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drumeo members<\/a> use when practicing with the 3000+ play-along tracks inside our members area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/how-to-read-drum-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here if you want to learn how to read drum music<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tips\" style=\"color: #0b76db;\"><strong>Tips for playing flam taps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should master the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/flam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flam<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/double-stroke-roll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">double stroke roll<\/a> before you get into flam taps. It\u2019ll be much easier to learn once you\u2019ve nailed the components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge is getting your flams just right and keeping the double strokes smooth and consistent. Make sure the flams are tight and that there\u2019s very little space between the grace note and the primary note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind that gap: never play two notes at exactly the same time. That\u2019s something else called a \u201cflat flam\u201d or a \u201cdouble stop\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips to help your flam taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/13134256\/Metronome-click-app-drumsticks-on-snare-_MG_4348-2-1024x664.jpg\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38383\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/13134256\/Metronome-click-app-drumsticks-on-snare-_MG_4348-2-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/13134256\/Metronome-click-app-drumsticks-on-snare-_MG_4348-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/13134256\/Metronome-click-app-drumsticks-on-snare-_MG_4348-2-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/13134256\/Metronome-click-app-drumsticks-on-snare-_MG_4348-2.jpg 1233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice with a metronome<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re first learning how to play something, it\u2019s fine to test it out without a metronome as you get used to the pattern.
