Sting (percussion)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Sting (disambiguation).

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.

Stings may take the form of a short roll followed by crash cymbal and kick drum, a flam, or a rimshot.
