Title: Rimshot or Rimclick?
Post by: lilben on March 31, 2005, 09:55:26 PM

I hear a lot of people calling which is supposed to be a rimclick a rimshot.

Rimshot= Means to hit the rim and the center of the snare at the same time.

Rimclick= Means to lay the end of the stick on the center of the snare and hit the rim.


Rimshot gives a tighter marching band type snare drum sound.

Rimclick is just a little click.

I never heard it called Rimclick before.  

   I think the proper name for it is cross stick.

  Anyway, they're both the same thing.  (Rimclick, Cross Stick)


  A Rimshot is exactly what you said though. :)
