Cross-stick
Using a drumstick, this is played by laying the stick across the drumhead with the end of the stick extending past the rim. The palm/heel of the hand stays in contact with the drumhead (close to center), dampening the snare drum while holding the stick. Lift the stick, keeping one end of stick on the head, and the other comes down and hits the rim. When played properly, it sounds much like a woodblock. The most popular way to play this is to flip the stick around so that the butt of the stick is used across the rim; giving the deepest and lowest tone possible.
