Boomwhackers are tuned percussion tubes — lightweight, hollow, color-coded plastic tubes pitched by length — invented by American Craig Ramsell in 1994 and first produced through his company Whacky Music in 1995. In 2009, Whacky Music sold its interests to Rhythm Band Instruments of Fort Worth, Texas, which now owns the trademark and distributes the instruments worldwide.

The core lineup includes the 8-Note C Major Diatonic Set, the 5-Note Chromatics Set, and larger 13-tube octave and classroom packs (27- and 54-tube configurations). Branded accessories and curriculum materials extend the line, including the Boom! Whack! Pop! Kit and book, a duffle bag, and the Chroma-Notes color-coding system used to align the tubes with notation for educators.

The brand is widely associated with music education, group classes, and family or church settings, where the durability of the tubes (stable to -180°F and recyclable) and intuitive color-by-pitch design make them accessible to non-musicians and young children. They are sold direct through boomwhackers.com and through major retailers including Sweetwater, Guitar Center, Music & Arts, Thomann, and West Music.
