The rimshot.
Rimshot is actually not the correct name for the famous three hits. In fact, the true name is the comedy sting, and a rimshot is what happens when one strikes both the rim and the head of a drum at the same time. Even still, people have come to use this name instead. One of those unanswerable questions, I'm sure.
Rimshots are great for when one wants to add a little extra punctuation to a bad joke or pun, to ensure maximum groan factor. I often enjoy imitating one to emphasize my punishingly bad jokes, as well.
