The LP Vibra-Slap was the first of numerous patents granted to Latin Percussion. It has appeared in more recordings, soundtracks, and advertisements than any sound effect ever made. As with many other LP products, the Vibra-Slap was conceived as a dependable replacement for the original delicate rattling horse jawbone. Sound created when the ball end is struck against the palm of the hand Sound can be varied simply by rotating the sound chamber Two styles made from wood and a third made from metal The wood versions have warm crisp tones while the metal version produces a metallic clatter with longer sustain
