Flam Paradiddle stick control exercise [2-21-06]
The Flam Paradiddle is one of the more difficult rudiments to play well. Before playing the flam Paradiddle or Flamadiddle, be sure to know your single Paradiddle well. Your going to want to work on making the flams flow and keeping your stick rebound height equal. Below is a break down of the Flamadiddle, first broken down into quarter notes and then viewed in 16th notes.

Here is an exercise that I use to tone up my Flamadiddle. Be sure to watch the sticking pattern on the third flam. It's a tricky little guy. Practice it slow and work your way up to speed, making sure to keep each note consistent to the timing, and your sticking should look smooth.
