Detail 01
Handheld shaker
Both sides sound, so a forward and back stroke gives you two hits. That is how you get steady sixteenths from one hand.

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
$20.99
Entry-level pricing. Buy two and play them in each hand rather than agonizing over a single upgrade pick.
Detail 03
Natural finish
Plain body with no coating to catch on dry hands. Grip comes from the shape, not from texture.
Detail 04
Sealed fill
The shot inside is not adjustable. Volume and attack come from how hard you snap your wrist, not from tuning.
Detail 05
Small body
Fits in a stick bag or gig bag pocket. Easy to grab mid-song without setting up a stand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wrist technique determines the sound more than the shaker does. Expect practice time.
- 02Nothing included — no bag, no mount, no pair.
- 03Quiet in a loud room. Close-mic it in the studio.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this loud enough for a live band?
It is a small hand shaker, so it will get buried under a loud drummer or amps. It works in acoustic settings and needs a mic on a loud stage.
02Can I play sixteenth notes on it?
Yes. Both the forward and backward stroke produce a hit, so a single wrist motion covers two notes. Even sixteenths come down to keeping the stroke length consistent.
03Does it come in a pair?
This is a single shaker. If you want one in each hand, order two.
04Can I open it to change the fill?
No. The body is sealed and the fill is fixed. Dynamics come from how hard and fast you shake it.
