Inspired by the beat naming thread.
It would be cool thing to catalog all the accepted names for beats that we have to date in the hopes of hammering out some sort of standard language that identifies well known, and not so well known, rhythms. Yes there are already names in place, but where can you find a comprehensive collection of names of rhythms in one place? I think something like that would be a really great thing for any musician. It would lessen the communication gap between drummers and pitched instrument players.
I'll start with just 2 for now:
Flat Tire shuffle
Money Beat
Of course there are variations of rhythms, but they would all fall under a common heading.
Very useful terminology IMO. I'll bet there are hundreds of existing names for rhythms already. Let's see if we can consolidate them here into one useful resource.
A rhythm dictionary if you will.
