    Name that percussion instrument.



    What is the instrument in the top right of this set that is a ball connected by a metal pipe to the rectangular piece? I know exactly what it sounds like, cannot for the life of me think of the name.

        I played the vibraslap in high school concert band a few times (usually for a latin or tribal type song). It kinda sounds like a really weak rattlesnake.

            Most high school boys I know have played the vibraslap

              Meh. The vibra-slap is for losers. A percussive uni-tasker. Unique but no depth.

              Now the chekere in the picture, that's a real cool instrument. I've seen a guy in a master class do things with the chekere that would blow. your. mind.
