- In this lesson series, Vic Firth artist and Education Team member Dr. John Wooton breaks down the 40 Essential Rudiments in easy to understand concepts. This video covers the Flam Tap.
I love this guy. He's one of my favorite people to watch when it comes to marching.
@wyolabs The tracks are for those of us that enjoy harmony and melody. Neither of which you can get from a snare drum. If you have my book, you can fade to the left speaker and get only the snare drum sound, but for those of us that enjoy jammin' with a steel band, you have the right channel. Each lesson has a different style of music from around the world.
I hated flam !! Lol. Now,finally started liking it & getting better at it . 😅😆 I started drumming right before the pandemic. I don't own my drum kit ,so ,I only could play in my friend's ( & my sister's)studio. So, I had to put it on hold .Although been practicing on my drum pads almost everyday. I could start playing drums on the spot right away !! I added a kick drum & cymbals on my 2nd day & on my 3rd day added a hi hat !! I played many musical instruments, but drums are the only thing I loved immediately !! I love about that is a whole body workout !! I am not an athletic person ,though !! Lol. Playing piano on/ off since I was a kid really helped with drums,especially on countings !! I could strike several cords on a guitar .But never loved it .I'll never quit drumming !!! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Very interesting the inclusion of music with the metronome pulse. It actually makes the practice along more enjoyable and engaging . Great break down. My homework is for my left hand. I've a sturdy and developed traditional grip and the rudiment isn't vexing me at certain tempos but actually it's the ease and quality in which John executes the strokes that ,comparing my left hand to his, is what I now realised I could improve on. My angle on the snare slightly ajar and I unecessarily include slight miller stroke movements in the arm where as he uses a perfect wrist rotation meaning less exertion but with perfect execution. Watching this video reminded me to re establish the fundamentals once in a while, a top up if you will. Great video
@YouBetterSmile12 Traditional grip was created to use on a tilted drum. It was created to take the tension out of the arm. Playing on a flat drum puts all the tension in the right arm. Ironic, the grip was created to relieve tension and we put the tension right back in there by flattening the drum. Hmmmm.
Very good lesson cuz I always wondered how FAST rudiments could get without your hands getting tired and sounding sloppy.
This teacher is good!

Maybe I should move to Hollywood and try spy movies!
I don't really know, that was my teacher's fault haha but I did really learnt Swiss army triplets before flam taps
I remember a Marine Corps commercial with a single snare drummer playing flam taps on the upbeat of the cadence.
Wish I could find it out on YT.
What's going on i can hear a steel band?
He looks like some guy that would be in some Spy movie. hah.
what was the school called
is he good?
I did
where you live at
I don't know my teacher did it man...
This dude looks like a retired Navy SEAL who took up drumming
That's unreal.
LOL why? flam taps are easier and more common?
lol I guess... he was the teacher on the drumming school that I went when I was little.
Nope. Came here for the flam tap.
I will never understand rudiments
PLEASE remove the background music!!!
This guy is completely wrong. First of all there is no such thing as a "bounce" rudiment. And secondly you should always try your best to stick all of your rudiments. (Obviously not a buzz roll) what are you going to do when you play on a percussion instrument that has little to no rebound? But other than that his concept of breaking it down into an exercise is genius. But for the love of god DO NOT BONCE. Stick every note out.
+marcus minondo if you look at his hands, he's sticking every note. by "bounce" he's talking about using full strokes instead of control strokes. he's not completely wrong and his technique is correct. this guy is a national champion snare drummer, professor of percussion, written several books, etc. what's your CV?
He literally bounced. He even said you only need to stick at the beginning, when the tempo is slow.. Idc what he's done in life it's still not the way he should teach technique..
I mean there's a difference between a bounce and a full stroke
+marcus minondo It absolutely matters that he has a resume of snare drum technique and teaching. He knows what he is talking about. And it IS a bounce - the bead bounces off the head.
dude you can bounce (diddle) at high speeds. It's a triple stroke
