How to read this drum music

• The snare drum in bars 1 & 2 of this beat plays a drum rudiment called a "Flam".
  

• In the second two bars of the pattern the crash cymbal is played like a ride to get a nice "trashy" sound.
  

• Play the high tom tom and the floor tom tom over the bass drum in the first two bars to give those notes power.
