## Overview

The Meinl Luis Conte Red Shaker is a professional-grade percussion instrument featuring four connected chambers for smooth, lag-free sound at a soft volume ideal for studio and acoustic settings. Crafted from durable, all-weather synthetic material, it offers consistent rhythm control for players of all levels. Designed in collaboration with legendary percussionist Luis Conte, this shaker combines premium quality, lightweight comfort, and a striking red finish, making it the go-to choice for musicians seeking refined, subtle percussion.

## Description

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 red shaker is the softest compared to the black 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 quieter than the other Luis Conte shakers, it is excellent for studio use and is great for soft acoustic performaces as well. Any drummer or percussionist will find this instrument extremely useful in their music. Whether playing a mic'd set or a softer unplugged gig with a cajon, the Luis Conte red shaker sets the standard for a silky smooth sound. Pair with the black and grey models to complete the trio!

Review: Shaker Instrument - Gift for a niece who in the percussion section of a her school band. Looked great and well made, sounded good and was fun to play with while I was wrapping it!!
Review: Exceeded expectations - This shaker is easy to hold and you can play with more nuance than an egg shaker. It is a similar sound to an egg shaker but loud enough to use in a larger venue. I’ve been using it in a jam group. I had bought a tube-style shaker in the past and did not like the sound so I never used it and was skeptical about getting something else. But this has been great!

## Features

- 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
- SOFT VERSION: has a soft, slushy sound that studio engineers love; this is the soft volume version with the most subdued tone 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 72-76 decibels (about as loud as your conversation voice)
- THE BOTTOM LINE: this is your go-to for quiet acoustic gigs or recording in a studio without danger of peaking out, 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
