Whip (instrument)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Slap stick)
A whip is an instrument played by a percussionist that is used in modern orchestras, bands, and percussion ensembles. There are two primary types of whips. The first one has two planks of wood hooked together with a hinge connecting them and handles on the outside. The percussionist places both hands in the handle and hits the two pieces of wood together, creating a loud whip noise. The other type also has two planks of woods, one longer than other which makes the handle, connected with a spring hinge so it can be played with just one hand, though it cannot produce sounds as loud as a whip requiring both hands can.
