Latin Percussion LP209 Vibra Slap Ii Deluxe

Good value. Strong sound. Nice looking.

Even though they called this the “deluxe” model, it’s really the sound we’ve heard on records and in performance for the past half century. That is to say, don’t get the smaller one, which sounds tiny and fuzzy. Spend a few extra bucks and get this deluxe model. Easy to play, easy to adjust, and that wonderful vibrating sound. Two thumbs up.

Great product, works exactly as it should. The one thing you need to know is that it comes in a small box, so they turn the vibrating chamber sideways. If you leave it that way it doesn't make much sound. You need to loosen the wing nut and rotate the chamber 90 degrees and retighten the nut. That is the proper orientation of the vibrating chamber and now it will make the "Vibra slap sound" when you strike the wooden ball.

The decay time is a bit too short. The sound is what I was looking for however I would like it to have more sustain. It is to abruptly short but with any musical instrument sustain is quality. Also, there is no good mount to a drum rack which I suspect there is a market for...

Nice tone with long sustain. Adds a nice effect to many types of music. I used it on a acoustic version of Ozzy Osbornes Crazy train. The crowd love it. I recomend mounting it to a cymbal stand or wherever meets your needs so you can hit it and continue your playing. I love this piece of gear!

I'm an amateur musician, and I like to collect interesting instruments. The Vibra-Slap is heard in many popular recordings, and it's fun to use. This model is very well made, and has that authentic sound. It's fun to use, and children can easily use it as well. It looks well made, and it should stand up to some serious slapping.

This is very good quality and the price is awesome. Be careful to adjust the wing nut carefully and set the instrument to vibrate in a way that gives you the best effect.

Literally the first time I hit it at practice, a piece chipped off. And there’s another crack right next to it.It sounded great when I got it and it still sounds ok. I just thought for the money this thing would last longer than one day.
