Left Hand Clapping vs. Right Hand Clapping

[Geoff Grace]

Which sounds better -- the left hand clapping or the right hand clapping?

 

Best,

I voted right, but by rights it should have been "dominate hand". My theory is, when you clap, you don't use each hand equally, you tend to use your more dominate hand to smack your other hand which remains relatively still.

 

Trying to do this with your week hand smacking your dominate hand just isn't going to produce the same sonorous result.

 

...yeah

For some reason I've always preferred the left, but not sure which sounds better

Yes, but is that a factor of the hand doing the smacking, or the hand being smacked?

 

After all, with a drum, it's not the stick but the head that the sound resonates from...

 

Ooooh, deep.

I think it has to do with the contours of EACH hand as they smack one another and the extent to which you trap air in between the hands.

I've never had the clap, right or left-handed.

Methinks you might be taking this a little to seriously...

Y'mean dominant?

 

[Dave Horne]

So one hand is dominant and the other is sub dominant?

I like the sound of my hand on my girlfriends arse. But that is not for public consumption.:grin:

 

either hand creates the same results.

Like Howard I prefer right hand, it usually better then left...

Excerpt from: http://www.wikihow.com/Clap-Your-Hands

 

"There are as many ways to clap, as there are as many reasons to clap. There is no wrong way to clap, and it usually occurs in a very natural and unplanned way. . . .

 

Warnings Although clapping is a sign of happiness or in excitement, you don't clap for yourself when being praised or awarded. It shows rudeness and disrespect, like saying "I know I'm great, praise me."

 

Instead of clapping, the proper response to public praise (in western cultures) is a slight, modest bow or a raised hand acknowledging others applauds."

 

So, that only begs the question...when you bow or raise a hand, which hand should you use??

in that case they clap with their nuts.

I wouldn't call it that.

Can't clap right now - I'm busy eating a tritone sub. Cheese pickles and pastrami on a neapolitan roll.
