Note:  Flams may be found in Drag Rudiments, but since the Drag is deeper level of complexity they are instead found on the Drags & Ruffs page.  The grace-note Setup and Principle-Stroke of a Flam lR or rL create a Compound-Stroke which is more “contracted/compressed” for a more “closed-texture” than if they are “expanded/loosened” for a more “opened-texture” into alternating Single-Strokes L R or R L “Para” rudiments on the Single-Strokes page.  The level of complexity and uniqueness of sound has caused others in history to classify them differently, but you really should view them as related on a spectrum of open-to-closed texture.

 

Main Strokes = Strokes that have a Note/Time-value so they are not a grace-note stroke but either the Principle-Stroke they Setup to create a Compound-Stroke or other Simple-Stroke(s) that are part of the Rudiment, e.g., the lR L R L Flamacue has 4 Main Strokes.
