This is a fairly advanced two-bar lick that I arrived at after experimenting with fubars and inverted cheeses for a few minutes. And finally, we have a post in "treble" (as opposed to all the "duple" licks I've posted so far)- not to be confused with the famous clef! [Why "treble" instead of "triple"? Why not?]
Notation note: if I have something like this that's quite obviously in 12/8, I won't bother to mark it (again, these posts are coming directly from my personal notes, where I wouldn't bother wasting the time writing any obvious time signatures). Along those lines, you could also read this as 4/4 with all triplets missing the "3"s above them. If you can't figure it out, just check out how many notes are beamed together, in this case groupings of 3.

If you ever have difficulty with a lick like this, try breaking it down into its components and working on each of those individually (single flams, multiple flams, single and multiple flams with diddles ("cheeses" "fubars"), etc.).
Have a try at isolating beats 2 and 3 of the second bar- then isolate just the left hand rhythm (drop the constant right hand notes to focus on the left). Naturally, if it's worth doing with one hand, invert the stickings of the whole isolated selection and get it down with the other hand as well.
"Circling" is excellent to use to practice any sort of treble rhythms that you can come up with as well as a lick like #22.35 - try it out for a half hour or so on 1-track repeat.
