Description
EASIEST SHAKER TO PLAY: four individual chambers are connected in one shaker for predictable response with silky-smooth sound; these four small shaker chambers are easier to control than one large open chamber.WHY IT MATTERS: it takes no effort to get consistent rhythm, regardless of skill; there's less space inside where the filling has to travel to make sound, so its response is instant with no lag.ONE BIG THING: mega-successful percussionist and Meinl artist, Luis Conte, designed this shaker with us; Luis' recording and performance credits include James Taylor, Santana, Phil Collins, Ray Charles, Jackson Browne, Shakira, Madonna, and more.MEDIUM VERSION: not too loud but carries with pleasant sound; this is the medium volume version with the most applications of all three Luis Conte shakers (SOFT: great for studio, MEDIUM: use almost anywhere, LOUD: best for high volume live shows).OF NOTE: made with 100% all-weather synthetic material for crisp tone while being plenty durable; this material produces a clear timbre and is lightweight.BY THE NUMBERS: this shaker measures 6 7/8" long x 3 1/8" wide, and its volume ranges around 79-81 decibels (a little softer than a strum of an acoustic guitar).THE BOTTOM LINE: you can play this shaker anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn't matter what your skill level is; it will do the trick whether you're a drummer or singer with no percussion experience.THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
