Yeah,

I have the wood handled ones somewhere, but I typically grab a couple of medium big spoons from the drawer. You can get some cool grooves going.

Kitchen music.

I've played spoons for years with a variety of different bands and musical ensembles. With any sizable band, I like old school, metal soup spoons for volume and cut, handles slightly bent and wrapped in athletic tape to prevent slippage. Wooden spoons, separated or connected give a much warmer sound. You can make a horse hooves like sound by cupping your free hand over the top of the top spoon when you make contact. Your hand creates a little resonance with the spoon. Here's a pic of my wooden, connected spoons. the upper set with the pointy tips are from Ireland and the longer set came from the Ozarks. Lots of fun to play.

You can easily make your own with two old soupspoons, a spring-loaded clothespin, and a bunch of rubber bands.
