OP I have never heard this word used in conversation, but I am familiar with a similar word (if it is a word).
As a percussionist, I had many an opportunity to perform a "flam-ma-diddle", which was a sequence of strikes with mallets or drumsticks: Both sticks on the drum head at once, followed by three single strikes in alternating fashion.
(I am certain that someone more musically inclined can do a better job of explaining this in text!)
I think of my version frequently, but the word in today's note is a first for me.
American English | Yooper | with a dash of Yiddish
