What is a pataflafla?
The Pataflafla creates a quick, dynamic pattern with flams. The basic structure is:
- Two flams with two taps between: lRLRrL
- Both flams are accented
- You start each four-note grouping with the same hand
This snappy rudiment demands precise timing and stick control. Start slow and focus on:
- Clean flam spacing
- Strong accent placement
- Getting the sticking pattern right
- Smooth hand switches
