People are stupid, of course its an instrument but of course you new generation fuck heads can comprehend these unique sounds because your so used to your digital computer effect bullshit. These are natural sounds, and combined with "Real" instruments they give distinctive sounds depending on the genre.
when you go to an orchestra concert sometimes they use soundeffects in diffrent pieces of music for cartoons like tom and jerry. thats why they are concidered percussion instruments because they make sounds like the drums, timpani, cymbals, and other percussion so dont underestimate the importance of this instrument.
@Mawyvoltash - technically, it is a woodwind instrument; but because it is a sound effect rather than a melodic instrument, it is usually allocated to a percussionist. The duck call, acme siren, nightingale, cuckoo, salsa whistle and train whistle are other instruments of this kind. If kazoos are called for in a score, they are usually played by vocalists.
I always hit the vibraslap against my thigh, not my hand - mostly because I saw Bob Marley's percussionist do that once! :-) Anyway, he could have mentioned how to prolong or shorten the rattle (by tightening or loosen the nut). That's sort of basic info about the vibraslap.
The main problem is that the loud transients of the vibraslap are saturating and distorting whatever camera mic he's using, So instead of the groovy "Room 222"** sound the vibraslap's known for, here it sounds rather like a cash register being hurled through plate glass french doors.
** I.e., Jerry Goldsmith's main title for the 1969-74 TV series.
Man,you should go easy on this guy and give him some tips if you you know what you are talking about ; I dont know anything about musical instruments so I dont know.

I love to whack the vibra-slap on my head. The rocks in my head rattle like the vibra-slap and it's like internal and external stereo mode.

He's right. Once I hit the vibra slap a few times and maybe do a few runs on the slide whistle, women seem to follow me around for hours.

It's actually easier to play this way; that way you can hold the instrument still and hit it with your hand (as opposed to vice versa :).
Also, LP makes a mount for it (which I use), which holds it the same way.
It's really personal preference.
