Not every rhythm has a widely recognised name, but for those that do it will be because that rhythm has a particular cultural significance. So today we are going to look at 18 of these "named" rhythms so you can be familar with how they sound and where they come from.
The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear in full on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJ...
And, an extra special thanks goes to Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇

The musical joke of an incomplete Shave And A Haircut rhythm was used in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In it the judge (Christopher Lloyd) finds Roger by playing the first bar. Roger can’t resist and comes out of hiding to sing, “Two bits!”

Hey i didnt catch that way back when, thanks. I always thought in LA Story (Steve Martin, Sarah J. Parker). He knocking at her door for dinner date, she has to close the door to complete the "Two Bits" and the go to dinner. Wish i had David as a music teacher 35 yrs ago. Great content & comments.

Shave And A Haircut is also indispensable in circus music. And I think another incomplete rendition was part of that Big Bang Theory episode in which Amy tries to teach Sheldon a lesson by leaving lots of things unfinished.

Also the original source of the phrase very likely comes from the old American "Barbershop Quartets" who, unsurprisingly, sang outside barbershops as advertising for the shop and entertainment for the customers.

The "football clap" is used in the opening handclaps of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" (a song about playing baseball). It's also used in the Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night." It's really common as a stadium organ riff in the US (typically baseball and hockey teams will have an organist playing live music during breaks to pump the crowd up).

Same here in Canada at hockey games. When the organist played it the fans would shout "Let's Go!" followed by clapping "clap clap clap clap clap clap clap" then back to shouting "Let's Go"!. Or at least in in 1980's/90's😂 (it's been awhile).

Maybe it doesn't seem that way to those who haven't yet looked into the matter; but for me, who has toiled for years, alone, about the rhythmic particularities, so poorly addressed in the texts "conventional", trying to understand how such peculiarities can appearing on so many and diverse "musical fronts", it makes me want to cry for being born so before that crazy time, but with such objective learning opportunities, like in your video.
