When you hit on the backbeat and hit the snare and some cymbal together, what do you people think of the importance of "flamming" the hit or not flamming it, and trying to hit the notes simultaneously? I was brought up a rudimental drumming, and "flamming" comes more naturally to me, but even with a tight flam, the sound is looser. Sometimes loose is good, and maybe that's the answer: it depends on the context. But I'd like to hear some thoughts
