Single Flammed Mill

What is a single flammed mill?

The Single Flammed Mill combines flams with a reverse paradiddle, also known as a mill (RRLR or LLRL). The basic structure is:

• Flam tap followed by a mill: lRRLR and then flip that to start with your opposite hand: rLLRL
• Each new grouping starts with a flam
• Pattern repeats, switching lead hands

Before approaching this rudiment, make sure you have your flams and paradiddles down. Then, focus on:

• Precise flam spacing
• Even doubles after the flam
• Consistent hand transitions
• Smooth flow between groups
