Flamacue

What it is
Five notes: a flam, then an accent on the SECOND note, two more taps, and a closing flam. The off-front accent gives it a lopsided, funky character.
How to practice it
Everything here is the accent placement. Every other flam rudiment accents the flammed note; this one accents the note after it. Practice the four-note group first with the accent on two, then add the flams back in. Keep the closing flam quiet or it steals the phrase.
Where you'll hear it
Traditional rudimental solos and old-school drum corps. On the kit it makes a sneaky displaced-accent fill.
