"Street Style" Rhythm? Does anyone know what it's called?

Have any of you seen Sesame Street lately or the new Oscar Meyer commercial with kids doing a cool rhythm of clapping, stomping and such?

I want to learn how to do it, but I don't even know what it's called to look it up...does it have a name?

Also, if anyone knows good books or videos that have rhythm games and stuff, let me know. I love that kind of stuff, and once my kids are old enough, I'd love teaching it to them.

Kind of reminds me of the drum corps stuff I remember in high school...

Stomp?

Is it like Stomp? I haven't seen the commercial but it sounds like a show we have here in London called Stomp. They use trashcan lids, brooms and all sorts of things to make percussion rhythms. It's very cleverly done.

Stomp is here in the states, too. Not that it is near me and I get to see it or anything, but have seen commercials for the show in Amarillo and Lubbock one time.

It is cool stuff! Don't know what it is though, nor where to learn it.

There is a video at Amazon called 'Sesame Street - Let's Make Music' This is from the review....

'....40 minutes of delightful noisemaking that reaches far beyond clanging pot lids. Soda bottles become woodwinds, pasta jars rattle like maracas, a plastic garbage can works as a bass drum, and if those items can't be found, feet and hands will do just fine. The half-dozen members of Stomp.......interact beautifully with the entire gang, whether playing a foot-tapping version of "Follow the Leader" with the kids or tooting a catchy ditty on empty bottles with Muppets and adults'.

And you can get Stomp on DVD if you want!

Yes, it's very like Stomp. The high school marching band here did a portion of Stomp material with trash cans, etc. during their show this year. It was my favorite part! I'll have to do some research on Stomp, now! Someone else mentioned that they call it "Stepping," but I can't find anything on that....
