Pataflafla

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
