SlapStick Back Order List NAMM Best in show! Expand your percussion. The SlapStick™ is type of innovative electric tuned percussion instrument designed by Andy Graham. Inventor and percussionist, Andy Graham, set out to create a new kind of musical instrument using this steel strap, but with the addition of an electric pickup and means to fine-tune the strap. The result was a prototype that eventually became the SlapStick™ S-100 PRO. The SlapStick's strap floats just above the length of the body, allowing it to vibrate and be 'fretted' like a bass. However, rather than strumming, the strap is struck or tapped with one or two hands, or with a stick. It was discovered later that using electronic effects with the instrument created a whole new world of sounds. Check out videos below.
