Here's what I do...
Go to the morgue.....
Nevermind
Two thin boards and smack them together
Jeff- thanks for pointing me to that! It's pretty close. I think it's a splash mounted inside a china...? I should've clarified the question- I meant mimic a handclap sound in a live setting without electronics [I don't always have a monitor] and with something that I can hit with a drumstick.
Larry & Chip- uh, I still don't get it...? Please clue me in!
Any ideas on the best way to do this? Splash on top of an aux snare? A particular pairing of stacked cymbals? The LP [or was it Rhythm Tech] crasher, if they still make it [or the new Pearl version of it]?
I would say sticking a small effect cymbal on an aux snare tuned low is about right. I tried doing it before but you lot all thought i looked like a prick. Did sound like a hand clap though i reckoned.
