Latin Percussion LP Twist Shaker - Soft, Yellow

These are my new favorite shakers. I thought the twisting would be a pure gimmick, but I love the twist functionality. I use two at a time, but I purchased a soft (yellow) and a medium (blue) and combined one of each. The combination of shaker sounds I get now is pure heaven. The blue helps cut and provide a good "chick" sound, and the yellow gives a great shuffle sound that helps to fill out the overall timbre. Ive separated them and played them one in each hand with poly rhythms and they worked quite well also, with the yellow being better for keeping up a steady rhythm while you accent with the slightly louder blue. The shape of both shakers together is also very nice for using while playing drumset. They sit still very nicely, and are extremely easy to grasp, hold, and shake with one hand while youre using your feet and other hand to do whatever else you need. I really am in love with my shakers and I show them off to all of my percussion friends, I would highly recommend not only getting one set, but mix and match colors, youll get a better sound and you can really tailor it to the use you need.

The yellow one has the softest sound, like it's full of sand. The red one has the loudest and harshest sound, like it's full of small dried beans, and the blue one is right in the middle. I don't know when you'd ever really need or want the red one, but the blue and yellow ones are great.I wrap tape around mine to keep them from twisting apart as I hold a drumstick in my hand with the shaker and for some reason that seems to make it want to twist apart. Works great!

I have the medium shaker of this series and it’s good but this one is far superior. It is very easy to control, it is very “swishy“ and you can use it in so many different ways. I also like that you can pair it with another shaker from the same series and use it as a shaker with two volumes which allows more creativity. Shakers are underestimated instruments in your percussion lineup. This one is a good one to have because of its versatility it also sounds damn good.

The fact that they are separable is a big plus.

Arrived on time and was packaged with care

Great for recording and performance alike. Just the right soft, swishy, wavy sound. Feel sturdy and of good quality build, nice rubbery grip. You won't be disappointed. A must for the studio or the percussionist.

Well made, just very-very soft sound.

I love the twist feature of these shakers, use them locked together or separately. Works great at flute circles, as I can split the pieces off for more ppl to get involved with the beat. The fact that you can mix and match soft, medium and loud shakers is a excellent plus. I highly recommend these twist shakers in soft, medium and loud!
