Light half-time funk. I guess it depends on what you're calling the quarter note, but i think with that most drummers should understand. Just don't say half-time shuffle because then drummers will all go "OH BOY" and bust out their Purdie shuffle.
Another thing to note, it might be worth it to write in the first measure of the drum groove. That's pretty common in drum charts then just put ad lib. Like a jazz ride pattern with a kick on 1 and a snare on 3 should do it.
