Ron Vaughn Percussion Slap Stick

Ron Vaughn Percussion’s ST-900 Slap Stick is built from super Russian Birch, and has become one of the most in-demand specialized instruments in percussion today, and continuing now for many decades.

This instrument includes hand-lapped faces, and carefully positioned air-pocket machines, strategically placed from Ron’s trial and error research over his early years in the 1960’s. This instrument includes a finely balanced, highly functional motion.
The leather strap is ideal for articulating rhythmic figures as are found in the compositions of composers like Darius Milhaud.
At these faster moving rhythmic figures, this instrument delivers consistent, well-shaped accent sound at lower dynamics, and with precise clarity. The integral, recessed black foam pad provide a comfortable rest against fingers during performance. The brass hinge mechanism is closed and sealed for smooth, quick, even motion.
