Can you play clawhammer on a resonator banjo? A repeated question here on Banjo Hangout. The answer:

Indeed you can. Here's a set's worth.

I also like this a lot. The banjo with the clear head is played clawhammer (Kendl Winter on a Ome resonator banjo), the one with the Fiberskyn head is played 3-finger picking.
