Description
The VibraSlap, a modern percussion classic, offers a unique sound experience that has been etched into countless recordings, soundtracks, and live performances. Originally designed as a durable alternative to the delicate rattling of a horse jawbone, this instrument has become iconic in its own right. Whether you're a professional percussionist or a curious enthusiast, the VibraSlap's distinctive chattering sound is sure to add an intriguing layer to your music.
To play, simply strike the ball end against your palm or thigh, and let the wooden resonator do the rest. For added versatility, the VibraSlap can be mounted on a stand, making it a perfect companion for any drum set. Its tone can be easily adjusted by rotating the sound chamber, allowing musicians to explore a range of sounds from warm and crisp to metallic and sustained. From the intros of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" to Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion," the VibraSlap is a testament to the power of unique percussion.
Key Features:
- Originated from the Peruvian quijada (horse/donkey jawbone instrument)
- Produces a distinctive chattering-teeth tone
- Versatile for hand-held or mounted play
- Adjustable sound chamber for varied tonal quality
- Durable construction with options in wood or metal

In this YouTube video uploaded by craigmewsmusic, John Mayer can be seen playing a vibraslap starting at 1:40. Mayer said in reference to a song on his album Room for Squares, "83 was the vibraslap." Based on this video and the sounds heard on Mayer's said song, it can be concluded that the vibraslap was used during recording. It is unclear which brand produced this particular vibraslap, but judging from the idea that Mayer said in the video, "We drove out to a Guitar Center just to get a vibraslap," it is likely that this is a Latin Percussion brand vibraslap, considering this brand has not only dealt their vibraslap to Guitar Center in the past, but also credits the invention of the vibraslap in 1967 to Latin Percussion's founder, Martin Cohen, upon which the company was granted a patent for the instrument.
