Short rhythm patterns for imitation task

[Aniruddh Patel <apatel@xxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

Can anyone suggest a set of short rhythm patterns of varying
complexity for use in a rhythm imitation task with children?
Ideally the patterns would be about 4-7 elements long
and at 2 or 3 levels of rhythmic complexity. They would
hear one pattern at a time and imitate it by tapping
with a drum stick.

If anyone knows of suitable stimuli, especially  
batteries that have some published data associated with them,
I would be most
grateful.

Thanks,
Ani Patel
