A a double stroke followed by a single stroke with a Flam on the first note, usually in the form of a triplet. It is often used in the place of a Flam Accent, since repeated Flam Accents will have three taps on the same hand in a row, where repeated Swiss Army Triplets only involve two taps on the same hand. Many drummers find it to be an easier alternative to the Flam Accent as a result.

Also known as "Swiss Triplet", "Bowers" and "Modern Bower Triple Stroke Roll".
