That classic Latin jawbone sound without a dead horse! I'd heard this sound in many an old recording and even in the more modern band CAKE (where I'd always wondered what that sound was). One random day surfing YouTube and I found it! Vibra-slap is it! This one is perfect!

Since I introduce the VibraSlap in my Church Choir (we sing a Contemporary Catholic music) everyone say: "what thing is that?! It has a very cool sound!" We used in live and records and it hace a very nice and addictive "Crank" sound. I love. B.L.- Use with moderation, it could be "indigest" if you use it to much...

I love the LP209 Vibra-Slap Deluxe, but I was at first puzzled on the proper way to mount this vibrating piece to my set. The answer is not the LP444 bracket designed specifically for our purpose, this attempt is a recognized failure. What I found that works beautifully is: find any-old mounting bracket used to situate a cowbell or something of the like, for instance, a Pearl PPS37 Multi Angle Cowbell Arm. Then, mount the bracket to your crash cymbal stand, or any other stand, and set the bracket arm so it stretches out horizontally, to the left or right, "which ever is most effective for your layout." After that, you simply slide the Vibra Slap onto the outstretched arm, position it on the arm to where the ball swings towards you, and allows you to engage the instrument with one stick, as you will. I also found that it's worth the extra effort to tie a small, but lose loop around the V. Slap with some sting, and hang that on the bracket arm. Thus, you obtain no metal inference whatsoever with the acoustic performance of the V. Slap.

I play a lot of world music and some vibra slaps have been hard to play in the past and to much work for their sound, but not this one. this has a great crisp sound that is loud enough to hear. it is great if you are looking for one and the price is excellent.
