WHAT ARE CLAP STICKS
Australian Clap Sticks
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.
