THE SLAP DRUMMING RANGE BUILD
SLAP drums are durable, lightweight and colorful including a care-free synthetic drumhead that maintains its tunning and is resistant to changes due to weather. The drumhead has a tactile playing surface providing an authentic feel.
INNOVATIVE DRUMHEAD GRAPHICS
All SLAP drums include “HOW-TO-PLAY” graphics printed on the drumhead showing
where the hands should strike to obtain a variety of sounds. Makes teaching and learning simple and allows teachers to tailor their class to be inclusive to different types of learners, opening the door to music-making for all levels and abilities. As one teacher put it “the graphics are a godsend when teaching the different sounds and tones of hand percussion.”

Testimonial
Slap Percussion is what Elementary music education has been waiting for! The instruments of SLAP Percussion Range are very responsive to the students’ touch and produce a superior sound to any other elementary hand percussion instrument. The graphics on the heads are a godsend when teaching the different sounds and tones of hand percussion. The instruments themselves are very sturdy and can take the stress that young elementary students can put on instruments. In addition, these instruments are perfect for use by special needs in the inclusion music classroom. Finally, the cost alone for such a quality instrument makes this a highly desirable addition to the classroom. I highly recommend these instruments to any general music or elementary music program!
