Your cart is empty.These shakers were designed according to master percussionist Luis Conte’s exact requirements. “My shaker sound is as smooth as silk” is how Luis describes them. The black shaker covers the middle ground between the red and grey versions. It delivers ultra-smooth percussive colors that can blend well and cut at the same time, responding beautifully at any volume level. A little louder than the red shaker, it is perfect to use for both studio and live situations. Any drummer or percussionist will find this instrument extremely useful in their playing. Whether playing a mic'd set or a softer unplugged gig with a cajon, the Luis Conte black shaker dominates in versatility and musicality. Pair with the red and grey models to complete the trio of sounds!

I use this almost every day to add to the music I'm listening to and singing in the car. It goes with so many songs.The sound is great. Absolutely worth the money. Size is perfect, fits in my hand well and is easy to store. Has lasted a long time and seems like it'll keep lasting. Feels cheap because it's so light, but that's definitely not a bad thing. Works really well. Amazing purchase.

A couple of months ago, my "toy" bag (the duffle bag I carry all my hand percussion accessories in) disappeared after a gig... I had bought another cheaper shaker, and it just wouldn't do. I've become very accustomed to the sound of this one, so I sent the other back and ordered this one.

30人位のアンサンブルで使用しました。体育館のような場所でも、聞こえていたようです。形状が絶妙で、指を中に入れて演奏出来るので持ちやすいし、落としにくいです。本体、樹脂なので、シンバルとか叩けるし便利です。

This is a good shaker, VERY light. That goes for weight and for sound. I was expecting, and hoping, for it to be louder. I might just get another one to stack on top to increase sound.

Thought I’d use the extra time at home during Covid to learn an instrument. It’s tougher to learn than you might think, but I look forward to learning more tips and getting half way decent at playing the shaker. The instrument is very light weight and has a good sound.

Meinl overs these shakers in three "volume" levels (red, black, and silver cases) designated soft, medium, and loud. I have all three.This silver model has very sharp-edged pellets inside, and with two shaker tubes makes a lot of noise. I am confident it would cut through well in a live playing situation. I have found that it tends to be a bit much in more "unplugged" settings, where the shaker is meant to be more subtle.The red "soft" version feels like it has sand or something really gentle inside. It has a more diffuse sound that sets a more indistinct beat.The medium model is somewhere in between.All three Meinl shakers take a bit of practice to develop a clean sound. Unlike the egg-type shakers, the amount of area that the internal pellets can cover in the two tubes is much larger, and therefore one's hand movements have to be more intentional and controlled to keep all the pellets marching in step and creating a consistent and clean sound. It's not a problem once the issue is recognized.In a more intimate setting, especially if a microphone is being used, these Meinl shakers may be too much, and an egg shaker may work better. I have all at my disposal, and it's nice to have the choice. Overall, if I had to pick only one of the Meinl units, I would probably pick the medium one (black). But I would also have an egg shaker with me just in case.

Ottimo shaker con suono molto soft, leggero nell'uso, raccomandato.Completa la giusta "collezione" di shaker 👍🏽Quando lo si trasporta aver cura di proteggerlo perché è comunque delicato.
