Hi, I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to be learning how to play a few basic flam rudiments. Now that we know what swiss army triplets are and we can play flam accents. It is time to work on playing the swiss army triplets. Now this step is going to involve playing the triplets with the swiss army sticking and we would add in the flams a little bit later. But we have to get use to playing the sticking which is kind of different then what we are use to. So let's get counting, let's count some triplets. 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1 triplet, 2 triplet, 3 triplet, 4 triplet, 1. So it is right, right, left, right, right, left, right, right, left, right, right, left, right, right, left, right, right, left, right. So keep practicing that and like I have always said if it is to fast slow it down. Better to be slow and perfect then fast and sloppy. Let's go ahead and take a look at our next step.
