Two pairs of Australian Aboriginal clapsticksDidgeridoo and clapstick players performing at Nightcliff, Northern Territory
Clapsticks, also spelt clap sticks and also known as bilma, bimli, clappers, musicstick or just stick, are a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument. They serve to maintain rhythm in voice chants, often as part of an Aboriginal ceremony.[1]
They are a type of drumstick, percussion mallet or claves that belongs to the idiophone category.
Unlike drumsticks, which are generally used to strike a drum, clapsticks are intended for striking one stick on another.
