For decades the rasping rattle of the Latin Percussion Vibra-Slap set the mood in cinema television and on stage. Now LP announces that the celebrated percussive effects instrument has undergone a transformation. The redesigned Vibra-Slap II is poised to make history again. It yields an exotic more penetrating version of the haunting “ratchetrattle that signaled mortal danger in horror flicks and life-or-death shootouts in westerns. The original LP Vibra-Slap was an adaptation of the folkloric and vaudeville chattering horse’s jaw bone. Introduced in the sixties the LP version was an instant hit on movie scoring stages television and in clubs. The redesigned LP Vibra-Slap II is played in conventional fashion. A hard ball meets an inert palm and sets off shuddering in the resonating chamber. The unit however emits stronger tones and heightened sustain thanks to an exotic hardwood chamber.
