Learn How To Play The Single Flammed Mill

The single flammed mill is an interesting rudiment that incorporates the flam stroke with a paradiddle-like foundation. It's a little less popular than some of the other rudiments, but it's definately something you should practice. Here is what it looks like when written out in standard drum notation:

As you can see, aside from the flam strokes, the sticking is simply an off-set single paradiddle pattern. If you can already play the single paradiddle, it's just a matter of starting on the right-handed double, and adding in the flam strokes. Focus on getting the pattern correct, and then eventually build speed.
