Answer 2

Not always a rimshot. A rimshot is only one strike when the drummer connects with the rim as he hits the snare. There are more ways to punctuate a joke than a single rimshot. But if it were a single hit, it could also be called a "stinger", or a "hit". A "stab", while being a term for horn players, might also work.

Some drummers hit the toms too and crash and even might choke the crash. "Ba-dap-doom-dssh". If that's the case, it would be called a little "fill".

Answer 3

it is part of a punchline.

The term is erroneously used to refer to the sting played by the drummer in cabaret shows to accentuate the punchline of a joke. As a result, a particularly obvious laugh line is sometimes called a rimshot.

Answer 4

Rimshot

Answer 5

Answer 6

Do any other comedians think this noise is offensive? I've asked the drummer to please don't do that. He stopped doing it but now he makes that offensive noise with his mouth. Everyone tells me I'm funny, they love my act so I can't understand why this man is being so offensive.

Answer 7

i don't really think you could call it a rim shot if you have any knowledge of percussion. try looking for information or sound bites of Henny Youngman. he was the "king" of one-liners. he's the take my wife please guy.

Answer 8

Take my wife . . . . . Please! Bada, Boom!
