Normalizing drum sounds' abbreviations #4

Description

Hello lvm, I'm ritchse (also from argentina, así que si querés cambiar a hablar en castellano me parece bien). I made a huge collection of drum machines for tidal.
See:
https://github.com/ritchse/tidal-drum-machines

I did a survey about drum machine abbreviations at the time, and with the results I formatted the sample pack. You can see the results in the readme of the repo mentioned above.

Then I came across your repo here and realized we had some different names for stuff (for example, snaredrum here is sn but on my sample pack it's sd)
I thought we should come to a consensus to have both our libraries consistent so that users can enjoy both at the same time without any pain heh. I also would like to extend mine to be able to apply any of the rhythms here automatically or in a more concise way.

Here I quote my readme with the abbreviations decided on the survey:

Drum Abbreviation
Bass drum, Kick drum bd
Snare drum sd
Rimshot rim
Clap cp
Closed hi-hat hh
Open hi-hat oh
Crash cr
Ride rd
Shakers (and maracas, cabasas, etc) sh
High tom ht
Medium tom mt
Low tom lt
Cowbell cb
Tambourine tb
Other percussions perc
Miscellaneous samples misc
Effects fx

I imagine there may be some percussive elements in your pack that may not correspond to what I got into with my survey? For example I saw one of your rhythms has an element called 'ac' which i'm not sure what it is.
Anyway, let's keep in touch about this!

I open this issue since I couldn't find how to contact you elsewhere.
