a rimshot


*Rimshot!* sounds good to me!

a flam seriously i **** you not its called a flam. a rimshot is wher you hit the snare both on the batter head and also on the rim to give the note a hollow ringing sound. a flam is three tom notes and a bass drum note played in a linear succession ie ba ba ba dum and played quickly. its a flam. oh yeah and it wasnt me with the thumbs down i promise and its still a bl0ody flam lol its one of the many rudiments of drumming.

Just say "Drum roll please....""

Only David Letterman has the ba dump dump thing that his drummer does......

no better way.... its perfect......
meaning neither bad or good... just a saying.......
I believe it is said to get your complete attention and to make you wait for the answer.....

Rim shot.
