Description

Timber Drum Co. is a small workshop located in Nashville, Tennessee dedicated to crafting MADE IN U.S.A. instruments with locally sourced materials. The Slapstick, sometimes called a Whip, is a special effect percussion instrument that mimics the sharp sound of cracking a whip. Our design allows you to play this slapstick with one hand while keeping your other hand free to play other instruments. It is made of solid, locally sourced Tennessee Hickory that produces a sharp attack and is also extremely durable (most drumsticks are made of hickory). We hand-finish this wood using a natural oil that darkens the wood grain to bring out a rich appearance. Using two pieces of solid Tennessee hickory, we shaped and sanded them to exact proportions to get a real whip crack effect, NOT the sound of clunking two pieces of wood together. A skinnier 7 mm bottom piece and thicker 1 cm top piece give you a smoother cracking sound with reduced sharp attack. This saves your ears while giving you a more authentic and musical tone that blends, whether you're playing in an orchestra or providing sounds for a holiday musical. The 18” overall length produces plenty of volume that will easily fill any concert hall or theatre with a whip crack effect. A strong and flexible nickel-plated steel hinge gives you total freedom over how much sound you want, along with a seamless feel. Add this unique, American-made instrument to your collection and be ready with the perfect effect for the Christmas standard "Sleigh Ride," Benjamin Britten's "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," Aaron Copland's "Rodeo (Buckaroo Holiday) Symphony No. 3," as well as many other classic and pop pieces. Made in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A.
