I love all the terminology that goes with drums and music. Making a thread that names all the beats/rhythms we can think of would be a pretty cool resource.
It would also raise some good discussion I bet.
I'll start off with a rhythm that I don't know a lot about, the Boogaloo beat. My initial thought that this is the beat that Gene Krupa used on "Sing Sing Sing". You know that jungle tom thing. Only I'm not sure if that is Boogaloo. I had this discussion with my band leader and he was stumped. He seems to think it is the beat on that song "Boogaloo on Broadway", which is nothing like a jungle tom thing. So I really don't know what the Boogaloo beat is supposed to sound like. Any help would be appreciated.
I'd love to see this as a thread that names, outlines, goes into the history of, and maybe even posts examples of all the different rhythms that we as drummers should be aware of.
Anybody want to play?
