Which of the list is your favourite percussive auxiliary instrument? Use any rationale you fancy. My apologies for all the wonderful instruments that have been left out.

My favourite is the vibraslap, for its wonderful rattle-sound. I try to have one handy for when I make dramatic entrances.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that "VIBRASLAP!" is what I like to shout when I do my back-hand move that shoots a bolt of purple energy at my opponents.

Cowbell! Yehaw, get down 'n funy at yo' teh square dance, y'all!
Welcome to the great state...FAIR!
Throw that hay into the...AIR!
Wave cho' hats just like you don't...CARE!
Restrain Kooter's cousins over...THERE!
:D

Mainly because these improvised precussion things were tied between cowbell and tap-shoes in my mind. And I'm musically ignorant, thus tap shoes being in the catagory. Saw "Tap Dogs" or something couples years back, they were the pwn.

In a perfect world, tap shoes would have had a place on the poll. :(

Go to any Waikato home rugby match. You'll get all the cowbell you can handle.

Chimes, chimes! Not Other, but Chimes!

Ah well. It's a casual poll anyway.

Sorry :(

You can question my stance on abortion, capital punishment, the origin of life, politics, and morality in general, but oh man it just cheeses me when people neglect the chimes!!!!

Nah. No worries. :D

If you start a religion centred on the cowbell, then is it mandated that you play only cowbell during worship services? Or, is the cowbell too sacred to be struck?

If it's not struck then what is it? Just a hunk of metal, that's what! It must be struck!

I much prefer Sonic Youth style, guitar is certainly a percussion instrument.

Sleighbells.


Why? For their unlikely role in that proto-punk classic 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'.

A stroke of genius.
