Flams on the Cajon

I have done a few videos on paradiddles in the past few months, but today we take a look at another rudiment that is used quite a lot on the cajon. This is the flam. Flams are played by having two strokes very close to each other, where the first stroke is a grace note and the second one is the primary note.

In the video I start by playing a short groove utilizing lots of flams. I then demonstrate how I play flams and show you some simple exercises to get your flams in order.
