Hi! I`ve tried to play slap in Bb clarinet, but I cant do this. I can play slap notes on alto saxophone but I`m not a saxophone player.
Maby there is a problem in mtp or tip opening, I use Vandoren 5rv lyre
Thank You!

Clarinet mouthpieces usually have much closer tip openings than do saxes, so there's very little distance for the reed tip to travel to 'slap' against the end of the mouthpiece. Thus the reed tip might not be developing enough momentum to make an audible slapping noise when it hits the mouthpiece.

I've heard several clarinet players do this quite well (sounds like a percussion instrument more than a woodwind that way). Although you cannot articulate very fast with this technique, it is interesting. My thought about the difficulty is from the OTHER side of the reed. Being substantially smaller than a sax reed, it is much more difficult to "pluck" a clarinet reed with your tongue (you actually need to create a suction grip on the reed with your tongue to make the effect).

^EXCELLENT alternative to the real slap tongue method. I will have to try it! Thanks for the find!
