    Thank you. The crucial point for the slap actually seems - as you describe it - the miniscule deferral of the fingers. Many people describe it as a turn of the hand - which appears to be just a method to achieve this deferral. I'm still experimenting. Today I found that when I manage to cause a distinct and loud clap-like pop (relaxed and without force) it not only sounds quite crispy but also the hand remains on the skin without being bumped back. Hope I can reproduce this tomorrow (and not only every fifth try).

    Excellent point and observation! Tones overall sound better when relaxed, and adding tension and force delivers completely different results which can be distinguished from simply listening to the player. Hand percussion as a whole delivers its best from excellent technique and seems like you're on your way.
