WHAT IS A CLAPSTICK
Australian Clapsticks are the main traditional percussion instrument of all Aboriginal people. They are used to provide rhythmic accompaniment for song and dance. They are often used alongside two wooden boomerangs that are also clapped together in Aboriginal musical song and dance. Clap sticks consist of two sticks crafted from various woods and are often intricately decorated. The usual technique employed when using clap sticks is to clap the sticks together to create a rhythm that goes along with the song.
