The Flam Paradiddle-diddle is simply a standard single paradiddle-diddle, but with the first note played as an accented flam.

The Swiss army Triplet is a variation of a standard triplet where the first two notes are played with the same hand. Also, the first note of the triples is played as a Flam.

The Inverted Flam Tap consists of four primary strokes, where the first and third note are played as accented flams. Also, the 1st and 4th with the same hand, while in the 2nd and 3rd is used the opposite. 

The Flam Drag consists of four notes, where the first stroke is an accented flam, while the second and third are played as a drag (or also as a diddle). 

Approach the Plataflafla as a single stroke roll, but with an accented flam both in the first and the last note.
