Other meanings

See

• http://instantrimshot.com/index.php?sound=rimshot&play=true for the classic comedy sequence, interestingly this version is just snare-snare-crash, no attempt at a rimshot as drummers understand the term.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Surturz/AdminWatch&diff=443727297&oldid=443715853 Here in the US, a rimshot occurs in basketball when the ball goes right into the basket, thus, sort of like, "well done". There's also an X-rated meaning that I'll leave you to Google..

Interesting... I imagine the x-rated meaning relates to rimming. See also Rimmer (Red Dwarf). Andrewa (talk) 01:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Now it does! [1]

But http://onlineslangdictionary.com/search/?q=rimshot&sa=Search yielded no hits for rimshot. I wonder just how much of the urban dictionary stuff is self-fulfilling myth? Stuff that gets said once on the internet and then takes on a life of its own as soon as Google finds it? Andrewa (talk) 07:46, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
