Just a little throwaway graphic illustrating the connectedness of flam rudiments. People think of them as “omg a bunch of different things”, but they use very similar motions.
The key rudiment here is the Flam Accent #1— you get the others after it by just doubling one note, and playing with the rhythm. The pattern named Unnamed Awesome Rudiment is now named Unnamed Awesome Rudiment, or UAR. I like it better than the other 16th note flam rudiments— Windmills are easy but dull, Flamadiddles are just loathsome. UARs are difficult but hip.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.

UAR might be the best rudiment name ever! 🙂
pronounced "you are" 😉
It's a semi-decollapsed Alternating Patty – got to love nomenclature. 😉

Thanks for the post!
This is great, but where are Swiss triplets?
Swiss Triplets always lead with the same hand– they don't sit the same way the rest of these do.
