The Flam Parradiddle
uses the same sticking pattern as a regular parradiddle except that you now add a flam on every downbeat. This can be a tricky rudiment to get up to speed because essentially, when you consider that the grace note of the flam is another stroke, you're playing 4 strokes in a row with each hand.

Try playing the LH on your leg (so that you can't hear it), while playing the RH on the snare drum. You'll hear the 4 continuous notes of the flam parradiddle on the snare. This is another great exercise for building up your hand and particularly finger speed.
