Boomwhackers are lightweight, hollow, color-coded, plastic tubes tuned to musical pitches by length. They produce musical tones when struck together or on the floor or against nearly any surface. Often used by perfomance artists and other musical performance groups to add an element of spectacle. Music educators also use them extensively to teach fundamental concepts in rhythm, harmony and melody. Also used in music therapy.

We sampled 3 octaves of boomwhackers struck on a rubber surface, from C2 to C5. Recorded in stereo in a dry studio environment using high end mics, preamps and converters. 5 velocity layers and 5 round robins (repetitions per note). All samples denoised and normalized to 0dB for more natural feel without intensity jumps.
