Sting (percussion)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sting is a short sequence played by a drummer to punctuate a joke, especially an obvious or slapstick one. A sting is often used as accompaniment during cabaret- or circus-style shows. It is often erroneously called a rimshot, although a rimshot can be part of a sting.
Figures may take the form of a short roll followed by crash cymbal and kick drum, a flam, or a rimshot.
It is often spoken as "badum-bum-CHING!", "ba-dum CHSHH!" or "badum-PSH!" or similar, in response to hearing a particularly corny joke.
