I like flam taps, but only when they're inverted. Inverts have their own unique sound and I love them.

Simple rudiment, but I love the feel of playing Lesson 25s. Of the hybrids, Hertas. People who are not drummers are fascinated by the double stroke roll and especially paradiddles.

Not just Paradiddle-diddles, but FLAM Paradiddle-diddles. When played at 140 to 144 bpm, they have a flow that's just amazing. Also, all of the ratamacues: single, double, triple and those played with flams on the first note of the four-stroke. Cool to hear, and tough, but cool to play. :thumbup:

I don't know about the coolest, but to me the HARDEST to play were "silent flams" where you tap the low stick on the head and then use the high stick to come down like you're going to put the accent on it but noooooo, you have to save it for the next tap when the rudiment switches hands. It's a mental tounge twister. Absolutely maddenning. I've never seen a snare line execute it cleanly in unison.
