It’s a percussion instrument which has slipped under the radar when it comes to musical discussions. Many listeners have probably heard the distinct sounds of the vibraslap while listening to their favorite songs, but just haven’t recognized the source of the unusual sound.

Don't forget that songwriting and arranging are all about how everything works together, not just about each instrument on its own. So think about how percussion can complement other parts of your arrangement and vice versa. There are many ways percussion can bolster your songs, from strengthening a groove, to creating dynamics between song sections, to adding textures and vibes, and beyond. To play the glass harmonica, the musician wets their fingers with water or a damp cloth and gently rubs the rims or edges of the spinning glass bowls. This friction produces vibrations, creating musical tones. The musician can control the pitch and volume of the notes by adjusting the pressure and speed of their finger movements. choose "All Instruments", "Other Unpitched Percussion", "Vibraslap [1 line]" (or whatever name you gave it above);

The vibraslap is a percussion instrument that makes a recognizable rattling sound when hit (think that rattling sound at the beginning of “Crazy Train”). It can in a sense be considered more of a sound effect than an instrument, as unlike other percussion instruments, there isn't a clear transient upon impact, meaning that the vibraslap is less rhythmic than other percussion instruments. Nevertheless, the vibraslap is a common go-to for drummers and producers to add its signature sound to recordings. Hear how the claves add a driving feel to the groove when playing along with the downbeat, and then how they give it a vastly different feel when playing the clave rhythm. The claves may not have as many obvious applications in pop music as other percussion instruments, but they are an excellent choice to add a driving force to your song or to change up the feel. You can hear in this example how the handclaps bring considerably more impact to each snare hit on beats 2 and 4.

The vibraslap is a percussion instrument consisting of a piece of stiff wire (bent into a U-shape) connecting a wooden ball to a hollow box of wood with metal “teeth” inside. The percussionist holds the metal wire in one hand and strikes the ball (usually against the palm of their other hand). The box acts as a resonating body for a metal mechanism placed inside with a number of loosely fastened pins or rivets that vibrate and rattle against the box. [1] The instrument is a modern version of the jawbone. [2] Invention [ edit ] And don’t forget to layer a few takes (one clap would be a lonely party!).
