Another tip for anyone trying to learning this. Start at like a tempo of 60, 70, or 80 playing with a met and take it up one beat at a time but not until you can play it perfectly. When you keep messing up at a certain tempo take it back 5 beats and work your way back up. Kept doing that one day and by the end of the day I got them to about 130.
Truer words were never spoken as far as bad habits. I have been playing for over 40 yrs now. About 2 yrs ago, I was given a computer, so naturally, I got the internet. Therefore, I now had access to tons of drum videos, lessons, learning sites and schools, etc. To my surprise and dismay as well, I found out that I had indeed been playing with many bad habits. To make a long story short, I pretty much have had to start "all over" again in learning how to play drums. Man! I'm doing OK so far.
We play flam "fives" in a variety of ways in pipe band drumming using all single strokes, the paradiddle, and a double stroke followed by three alternating single strokes as well as sometimes using the sticking in this video.
This rudiment is on the Guardians audition packet and it gives me lots of anxiety. The two people who got contracted at the November camp were able to play the exercise at 150-160 bpm
Good instructions for a flam five, but why are you accenting the flam when just showing how to do a flam? Shouldn't the primary note of a flam have just as much emphasis as taps?
Gerhard Hochreiter Flam is an onomatopoeia, so the sound of the flam is the sound of the word itself, ie two notes played ALMOST simultaneously generating this sound. Check out this video lesson from Bill Bachman, one of the best instructors in sticks technique: th-cam.com/video/3n0rjPUKT2Y/w-d-xo.html Good luck!
This man is the definition of an educator. Awesome breakdown!

Super cool that you are determined to improve!! Hope all is well with you and your family :)

What kind of sticks are you using there? Size, length, weight, etc. Thanks, excellent lesson as well.
Cal Talbot I’m 7 years late, but he’s using tom aungst signature
I can't get flam 5vs
Practice cheeses, then 5 stroke rolls you'll get the feel eventually

Keenan D that’s not really hard
His son Alan Aungst made the Blue Devils so he knows what he's doing obviously!

I meant to say shouldn't taps have as much emphasis as the primary note in a flam?
I also noticed how your pinkies came off the stick when you were diddling.
Shane McCollum Shut the fuck up.
Hey, that wasn't very nice... I was just curious. My percussion instructor teaches us to not accent the primary note unless written as such
What's it to you anyways?
what does "flam sound" means? I am a beginner in drumming.
