Only musical?

Section-intros in radio shows are also "stings", aren't they? They often are made up of voice clips and synthesised noises (swooshes, static, etc.) Is this correct? 81.102.140.95 (talk) 11:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrectly?

This author says its "incorrectly" called a "rimshot". Except that it is called a rimshot by most people. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/37221 . I'm both a percussionist and a comedian, and I think the word "incorrectly" should be removed. It's simply also called a rim shot. --66.119.170.242 (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See also: http://instantrimshot.com/. In fact, I've never heard it called a "Sting" until some Googling led me to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.119.170.242 (talk) 20:55, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

totally agreed. since nobody has bothered to argue this after a few months, i'm taking the word out. --dan (talk) 22:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative names

I've personally always referred to these musical phenomena as "stingers". It also seems like "bumpers" are a bit more related and might warrant more than just a reference in the See also.
