Rimshot Soundboard: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rimshot sound?
A rimshot is a quick drum fill ending on a cymbal, the ba dum tss that signals a punchline. This page has several original LitPads versions to choose from.
Is this rimshot soundboard free?
Yes. All 11 rimshot sounds play for free in your browser, with no sign-up and no ads. It works on Windows, Android, Chromebook, Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Can I download the rimshot sound?
No. These are original sounds made for LitPads, offered to play here and inside the LitPads app, including in your streams, videos, and shows. They are not offered as downloads, and the files may not be reused or redistributed (see the Sound Library section of our terms).
Can I play rimshot sounds in Discord?
Not from the browser: a website plays through your speakers, not into Discord's microphone input. On a Mac, the LitPads app together with the free LitLink audio driver sends sounds straight into a Discord call.
