Standard two-letter abbreviations map to drum kit sounds in Strudel's default sample set

Strudel ships with a set of conventional drum sample names: bd (bass drum), sd (snare drum), hh (closed hi-hat), oh (open hi-hat), rim (rimshot), lt/mt/ht (low/mid/high tom). These are the same abbreviations used in TidalCycles. Knowing the abbreviations lets beginners write idiomatic drum patterns immediately without looking up sample names — the naming convention is the vocabulary of the drum lane, not merely a lookup list.

Examples

sound(“bd sd hh oh”) // basic kit pattern

Assessment

Without looking up references, write a 4-on-the-floor kick pattern with snare on beats 2 and 4 using the standard abbreviations.

“bd = **b**ass **d**rum, sd = **s**nare **d**rum, rim = **rim**shot, hh = **h**i**h**at, oh = **o**pen **h**ihat”
