A rimshot is a percussion technique used to produce an accented snare drum stroke. The sound is produced by simultaneously hitting the rim and head of the drum with a drum stick.
==The sound and various techniques== The sound of rimshots can be described as "part normal snare and part loud, woody accent", or "generally sharper, brighter and more cutting [than a standard accent]", since the technique produces large amounts of overtones.
