How To Play Swift Swiss Army Triplets  This month, I demonstrate
my approach to maximizing speed with the rudiment known as the
Swiss Army Triplet.  I play the Swiss Army Triplet using a
combination of wrist and finger technique. As notated in the
written example below, I use my wrists for the initial flam
followed by a finger stroke for the second eighth-note and a
wrist for the third eighth-note of the triplet. When playing
flams for speed, I always keep both sticks close to the drum
with the stick that plays the flam’s grace note a bit closer
than the stick that plays the eighth-note triplet part of the
flam. Practice this very slowly at first and repeat it until it
becomes second nature.  Video Lesson When practicing the Swiss
Army Triplet, be sure to follow my wrist/finger/wrist
suggestions shown on the video. First, play the Swiss Army
Triplet very slowly with no accents and add the accents later.
Also, be sure to practice the Swiss Army Triplet starting with
both left and right hand stickings as shown
