Rudiment #28
Swiss Army Triplet
The Swiss Army Triplet (#28 of the 40 P.A.S. certified essential or standard rudiments) is a three note Flam rudiment based on the Double Stroke sticking. The basic sticking is rrl. We accent the first note. Then we add a grace note to this accent making it two strokes per hand per Swiss Army Triplet.
