Rudiment of the Week: Flam
A flam = grace note + primary stroke.

Stickings:

Rl (right hand main, left grace)

Lr (left hand main, right grace)

Pro Tip: Keep the grace note low and the main stroke high for a clean sound.
Challenge: Practice slowly, then use flams in fills and grooves.

Yesterday was the Drum Queens event! ❤️✨

As a mentor to female drummers across the globe, I always make it a point to witness my mentees perform live, and I was absolutely blown away by the talent on display! The energy, the skill, and the passion were next-level. Once the videos are released, I’ll be sharing them with you all so you can see just how incredible these women are.

We were beyond excited to have the CEO of DOT Drums Community join us live at the event. DOT Drums was proudly represented by three amazing community members!

While she’s not a drummer, she came to show love for the brand and was completely blown away by the incredible performances of the female drummers. On the far right is Samsticks, who earned the title of Most Outstanding Drummer for the 2025 mentorship program. It was truly inspiring to see amazing female drummers doing Great stuffs , and all the other talented drummers who made the Drum Queens event unforgettable!

I’m so proud of these talented women and the entire DOT Drums community. The future of female drumming is looking brighter than ever, and we can’t wait to continue empowering and training more drummers from all over the world. Let’s keep pushing, growing, and inspiring!
