Bones crunching and breaking



I personally like putting things in (cooked) whole chickens and then beating the chicken with a sledge hammer or other bludgeoning device. Billiam Baker

Celery/Carrots/Little Gem Lettuce - try freezing them too. Jacob's melon - melon with jacob’s cream crackers glued on it. Thin triple sheet plywood left to soak outside in the rain then dried in the sun and torn apart, snapped. Real Bones? Dog Chews? Branch snap + filter? Ben Minto

In addition to your regular mic, try using a contact mic on a slightly resonant surface, such as plywood, and crunch things with your boot. Use the contact mic material for the thick, heavy sweetener. Make sure the crunching items are hard enough to transmit vibration to the plywood. Walnuts have worked well for me. Kristoffer Larson

Raw corn. Get it with as much of the leafy stuff still on it as possible - good fresh corn. Works great for wet solid punches. Coll Anderson

I used acorns, small apples and walnuts on wooden parquet surface. Worked nice. Alexey Menshikov

Chris Sweetman told me a good technique for getting a really effective bone breaking noise. Chicken bones in a polystyrene cup, break and snap them together. Patrick Phelan

Crushing plastic drinks machine cups are meant to be good for bones breaking. Paul Arnold

Dried sunflower stalks. Charles Maynes
