I think you are forgetting it is inverted. rL rrllrr not rL llrrll

[zappa3837]

If that's not the case, and you're not playing the roll LH lead, then how are you getting back to RH lead if you're playing a LH flam, and starting the rest of the roll w/ RH. The only way I can see how to do this is if you always started the flam roll on an upbeat. I would really appreciate it you could explain this because I really would like to be able to get flam rolls going like you can.
