Description

 

Instruments don't come much simpler (or more durable) than this pair of beautifully decorated coconut clap sticks. There is no limit to the rhythms you can make and the sound is clear and loud enough to be heard above drumming groups. Clap sticks come in two sizes and this is the smaller version at 23cm (about 9 inches) long. We're also now supplying unpainted clapsticks as this way there's no danger of the paintwork getting chipped.
 
How it's Played

 

Simply hold the painted ends of each stick lightly in each hand and knock the unpainted ends together. If you hold them too tightly you'll find that most of the sound gets absorbed by your hands. The clapstick professionals hold one clapstick cupped in the palm of one hand (but raised from the palm by the fingertips) and use the other stick to hit it. This way minimises the vibration/sound loss and is well worth trying.
