Introducing the Drums for Schools wooden claves
Instruments don’t come much simpler (or more durable) than the drums for schools 'clapsticks' claves. There is no limit to the rhythms you can make and the sound is clear and loud enough to be heard above drumming groups. These clapsticks are 23cm (about 9 inches) long and suitable for players from around 6 years and older. The 23cm clapsticks instrument’s are finished with natural linseed oil for a smart look and superior durability.
How to play
To play, simply hold the painted ends of each stick lightly in each hand and knock the unpainted ends together. If you hold them too tightly you will find that most of the sound gets absorbed by your hands. The clapstick professionals hold one clapstick cupped in the palm of one hand (but raised from the palm by the fingertips) and use the other stick to hit it. This way minimises the vibration/sound loss and is well worth trying.
