Singled Flam Drags
Singled Flam Drags are a fun way to play two warm ups at once. Play a triplet based eight on a hand exercise with one hand and eighth note accents and taps with the other hand in a two against three feel.
If you want to play one handed singled flam drags play triplets accented on the first note with one hand and low eighth notes with the other hand.
This works well as a drum line warm up or for moving around on the drum set.
