Well my friend. The "Flam A Duh" is actually the Swiss Army Triplet where you start with the Flam on the same hand. You can of course switch hands and play it starting with the other hand. But it's just another tool in the toolbox. Maybe you want to play a fill that goes around the toms descending left-to-right in the Flam Triplet configuration. Clearly it's going to be much easier if you go to each tom leading with your right stick each time; Flam-A-Duh, Flam-A-Duh, Flam-A-Duh, Flam-A-Duh, Flam-A-Duh BOOSH!! - (that was the cymbal crash).
👍🏻 love it, good to know! Thanks for the input! I just assumed I was playing the standard rudiment incorrectly all these years but that totally makes sense . Thanks!
You are very welcome. I was very much the same on my (continuing) journey of drumming discovery, I realized many times that what I thought was "cheating" - bouncing the sticks, using the rebound to get extra speed was actually a desired and proper technique. Many of the things I thought I was discovering for myself - like leading and following in a pattern of single strokes in groups of six accenting the 6th note, and which gave you the first note of the next group - in a rudimentary configuration it would be RRLL RL, RRLL RL - you know what I mean - was/is an old technique we know as the "Moller Technique". I started as an old school jazz, and dance band drummer, then got into Rock and Pop. 50 years later, and not slowing down one bit. Drummers forever.😁@@MacStevens
