Instead of hitting the left or right bongo hit both and the one you were suposed to hit will be the only one that gets recorded

If in the middle of a game you forget which bongo side to hit, just use both of the bongo's sides to have an Automatic Note User 5000 work!

Isn't clapping annoying.

Well to avoid it you can blow into the thing that detects clapping or tap the ends of the bongos that are closer to the middle in between them.
