The flam is one of the three basic strokes, alongside the single stroke and the double stroke. It has the purpose of producing a thicker and longer sounding note, when compared to a single stroke. A flam is comprised of two singles strokes that are played at different heights. The highest and loudest note is called the primary note, while the lowest and softer note is called grace note. Due to the difference in heights, the primary note should hit the surface of the drum or practice pad slightly after the grace note.
