Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
With the FB300 « FlapBoard », the acoustic clap gains modernity. Inspired both by castanets and accent accessories like slaps, it condenses this language into a compact, stable, and stage-ready platform. Designed for hybrid kits and creative percussion setups, it positions itself as a highly controllable solution to sculpt realistic transients without relying on electronics.
Who This Instrument Is For
Designed for drummers and percussionists of
all levels, the FB300 excels live, in the home studio, musical theater, and productions where rhythmic detail matters. It naturally fits
pop,
funk,
Latin aesthetics,
modern flamenco, and
percussive sound design, providing sharp accents that cut through the mix.
Features and Innovations
The
magnetic return mechanism recenters the flaps after each strike for consistent rebound from hit to hit. The
pre-tension ensures steady resistance, favoring fast passages in the style of castanets and controlled ghost notes. The
Velcro straps lock the assembly, while the
included bracket frees the hands and allows optimal positioning on percussion stands, racks, or extension arms.
Sound Characteristics
The
multi-ply birch is renowned for its bright attack, clear projection, and focus in the upper midrange. On the FB300, this translates into precise claps with a
clean transient and
short decay, ideal for cutting through an arrangement without harshness.
The
three zones offer a coherent palette: a drier register for sharp accents, a balanced intermediate timbre, and a fuller zone to add body. In close miking, the definition reduces the need for equalization, while in live contexts the projection facilitates placement in the mix.
