It's hard to pick just one favourite, but I like bongos and other 'ethnic' drums and percs of various kinds.
I've never liked claps, at least the drum machine variance. |

Friend of mine's a percussionist, and he has one of those. They're awesome. This dood has a different alien looking percussion thing like every other month, I'm always like "WTF IS THAT" (especially with the Balaphone...it's a rope bridge! no! it's a marimba! no! a rope bridge!"
The thing that is fascinating about percussion, especially hand drums, is the sheer number of different strikes there are...I used to think you just pounded on them and they automatically sounded good. |

Try this:
- Hook up a mic
- Put a 2 bar sequence in loop record
- Turn on a click track
- Turn on a monitor so you can hear it
- Walk around the room for like a minute, clapping on the same beat, from different locations, hitting your hands together in different ways. No need to be perfect with timing, an actual disco audience isn't.
-Bust each loop out into a separate track
-Mix them until they sound cool
-Bounce em all down to two tracks
-Export
-Import into sampler
-Instant Pfunk |

Yes, I might have been generalising a bit too much. Claps can be nice if they're processed with various effects and such.
I will try your recipe there, mate

leather couches, pots and pans, human buttocks, glasses, bottles,...
anything u can hit is a percussion instrument... example: I have a thermically isolated tea-pot that sounds great!! It also evolves beautifully when u go from the middle to the side, and it sounds good muffled and open... be creative people!! And yes, there are loads and loads of weird percussion instruments like cowbells en woodblocks and washing boards, and..., and..., and... but most of them are just things people started hitting, they thought it sounded wuite good, so they made an even better sounding instrument out of it... In fact, every instrument was invented like that... |
