use very short and soft MIDI notes in the piano roll editor, using two different snare sounds (most drum kits provide a snare 1 and a snare 2 sample on different keys to emulate left and right drumstick). Zoom in so you can set up the 1/64 MIDI notes, alternating between the two snare sounds. Depending on how the snare flam should sound, perhaps increase volume of the MIDI events up to the final hit, which should be loudest. (...rrRRAP).

But i second the comment above. The best snare flams are the real ones. There might already be samples there in one of your drum kits. Search for it.
