WHAT DOES RIMSHOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rimshot

A rimshot is a percussion technique used to produce an accented note. This sound is produced by simultaneously hitting the rim and head of a drum with a drum stick. Rimshots may be used in place of a snare drum in both real and virtual drum sets. In marching percussion there are three types of rimshots. The most common is the "normal" rimshot, which is played with the tip of the stick held about three inches from the rim. This produces a prominent, accented tone. The second is the "ping shot," where the bead is struck about one inch from the rim. This produces a high pitched sound. The third is a "gock," which is produced by hitting the bead of the drum stick at the center of the drum while the rim is percussed with the distal shaft of the stick. This makes a lower sound. In Latin percussion, timbale players use rimshots near the edge of the head, but these sound very different from gocks in marching percussion. In orchestral percussion, a rimshot is performed by placing one drum stick with the stick head near the middle of the drumhead, and the shaft pressed against the rim, and striking with the other stick.
