Body percussion refers to the use of appropriate body movements of the hands, fingers, feet or mouth (by clapping, tapping, snipping, pounding, clicking, etc.) to practice and accompany rhythms. This can be a drums mimicking. Often the bass drum is mimicked by pounding, the snare drum by clapping, and the hi-hat by sniping.

I like to get people to clap triplets before we start to try to learn the strum. That way we can get the feel of it.
