A rhythmic ostinato is a rhythmic pattern that is persistently repeated.
It will often be played on an untuned percussion instrument (e.g. snare drum, triangle, etc..).
However, rhythmic ostinati can also be found in parts played on pitched instruments where the note pitch stays the same or where the pitches change as the phrase is repeated.
The key characteristic is that it is the rhythm that is persistently repeated.
You can hear how the relentless sound of a rhythmic ostinato is extremely effective at building tension as the music around it changes and develops. This effect is heightened in the extract from Mars as the bass note remains on a G throughout the extract and acts as a pedal point.
You can hear that there are a number of different ostinati in many of the different parts that are layered to produce the overall sound.
Here is the rhythmic ostinato that forms the basis of the melody line:
A melodic ostinato is a repeated pattern where both the rhythm and the melody form the basis for the repeated pattern. These often occur in the bass part where they are called a basso ostinato.
As a result, you will probably be able to find examples of the use of repeated patterns/ostinati in most contemporary songs.
However, there are some songs where the use of an ostinato provides the clear foundation for the song and these are useful examples to listen to.
Seven Nation Army by White Stripes

An ostinato is a figure or musical sentence that repeatscontinuously. Its length varies in scope from a motive or phrase to aperiod. An ostinato provides unifying repetition. An short ostinato figure canfunction as an ornamented or extended pedal tone.
Composers adhere to traditional models with varied degrees of strictness. Thestudent is advised to take special note of (a) ostinato conventions as practicedin various historical periods (b) how individual composers interpret theseconventions, and (c) how ostinato processes evolved from period to period.
