WNAMM12: Slap Bass And Percussion In One Instrument, It's the Slaperoo! (Video)

WNAMM12: Slap Bass And Percussion In One Instrument

It's the Slaperoo! 18-Jan-12

No flash plug

3:15 mins

Have you ever had the desire to play the Seinfeld theme tune on both bass guitar and percussion simultaneously? Most people have, and a guy named Andy Graham has invented an instrument to facilitate that primal desire.

The Slaperoo is an electric tuned percussion instrument, in other words, it's an electric percussion instrument that you can also play melody on. You can plug it into your pedal rig and amp, and create some crazy sounds, as Andy demonstrates in the video above.

The video above is a preview of the instrument, we will be visiting Andy later on during the show to find out his process for inventing the Slaperoo.

Apologies for the occasional crackles on the audio, it's the first day of NAMM and we are ironing out the kinks in the system!

Dylan fox Said...

Constructive comments are weak. Ps Joel, remember the ustream where u told everybody to vote for u in shorties awards and u went up two places in like 3 minutes? U shld do that in efforts to get more people to act out against the SOPA/PIPA, it needs to be revised. I'm against piracy, not freedom.. Hbu?

TO: ALL the Postings ..U made me laugh! Most don't have anything 2 do with the product in Vid! Hey to Skrillex (1 day I'll spell it right)Heard an awesome track on Spotify.com where the hook in the song is yelling :O" SOMEBODY CALL THE POLICE" OR'Ambulance' OR'911'! LMAO I kept replaying it! It's on the Best Singles of 2011 AND with your pal, deadmau5 who is listed with ROPE Remix of My friends the FN Foo Fighters! Thanks 4 Entertaining ME! NOW..I HAVE TO GO Talk to Charlie Sheen, as when He says he's going to the MANSION in Miami, FL..I thought since HE was awarded BIG CBS Bucks... that it's HIS Mansion! (Not the Fountain Blue Remodeled! where deadmau5 did his shows there. I use 2 go 2 that place many moons ago.) AND Charlie Sheen stated that deadmau5 was playing at Charlie's place aka MANSION! UNLESS deadmau5 did...if in fact Charlie has a place there. ALL the posts at FB, the fans thought the same, telling Charlie 2 swing by & pick him/her up..etc. haha :D OMFG!
