You know those tunes that require a loud endless handclap (usually for acapella songs) - I found a great way of doing this without resorting to a phony e-pad sound or smacking my hands into a mic until they fall off. I know some drummers flam a cross-stick on a snare - but I hate that sound. So I found something that actually sounds pretty darn close for live playing. Basically - flam a large LP jamblock and a cross-stick on the snare.. the 2 tones when flammed close enough sound pretty realistic - and frees you up if you need to suddenly switch to playing the kit.
