Everyone has seen things like this polluting the internet:
What fun. I get that I’m the only person who thinks these are the trashiest possible associations to attach to anything musical— judging from the delighted responses that always accompany someone reposting them. I just don’t get the concept of this as a teaching aid. What, the student is going to remember to associate particular rhythms with a laundry list of quasi-food items, and then remember the notation like it’s a hieroglyphic? And this is easier than just teaching them to count 1&2&?
And who says “grape, soda” anyway? “I’ll have some cheese. Ravioli, please.”
Come on. If you’re going to do this, do it right with this fun and educational, non-inane, CRUISE SHIP DRUMMER! approved “rhythm guide”:
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.

What a perfect t shirt design!
Thanks Todd for being the kind of drummer who has enough other stuff going on with his cultural life to be able to reference Elsa Von Freytag-Loringoven.
What a brilliant site this is!
I’m off now to transcribe Kurt Schwitters’ Ur Sonate for drum kit.
