Latin Percussion LP462B Rock Shaker Black

This is AWESOME-SAUCE!Very lovely addition to your hand percussive arsenal!2 things to be aware of:1. it doesn't come with enough filling to really rock! LOL, it's plenty loud...I was having problems playing 16th/32nd eighth-note triplets.I've had to adapt vintage bb's (for a gun) since I've had a bit of trouble locating the official filling. BB's are ok, bigger than the metal beads that come pre-packaged.I'm expecting some other beads (smaller than bb's, I'm hoping), I'm still trying to find the perfect sound suited for me.2. it's too black! I was left wondering if the gold finish would have been a better bet? I've since continued personalizing it...adding a few stickers to make it more pleasing to my eyes. I like black, it seemed rather dull. Had to add my own style to bring it to life!Make sure the lids (yes both!) are solidly closed. Maybe add a small piece of masking tape to the inside? You'll see. B-)All-in-all, great purchase!Search, "metal beads" if you also have problems finding the official filling. There's different prices/sizes available. If you can't find what you're looking for here, try e-bay.Happy Rockin'!

It sounds great for a medium to higher rate shaker. It definitely stands out but not overpowering

Shaker sounds good. It was a little bigger than I thought but I like it.

High quality

I use the Shaker in my percussion section with the church music group. It works well: loud enough, just right. The size is nicer than the shaker eggs. The sound can be picked up by my microphone. The Rock Shaker gets an a-plus rating. Also adds to sounds can create by hitting with a drum stick.

works well and loud!

Great just what was needed

Great for live settings, you can go soft like brushes or hard for that intense pulse. Bought it used, beautiful.
