Detail 01
Sold as a pair
You get both hands covered. Maracas are played as a two-hand pattern, so a single one is not useful.

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
Yellow finish
Cosmetic only. Visibility on a dark stage is the practical upside; it does not change the sound.
Detail 03
Around $100
Puts these above novelty maracas. Expect consistent fill weight between the two and handles that stay attached.
Detail 04
LP branding
LP builds for working Latin percussionists, so parts and sizing follow standard percussion conventions.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fill can shift over years of play, slightly changing the attack
- 02No case or bag included; store them somewhere they won't get crushed
- 03Volume is fixed by the fill, so mic placement controls level in the studio
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do maracas come as a pair?
Yes, this is a pair. Maracas are played two-handed, alternating between the two, so a single unit would not be playable in the normal technique.
02Are these loud enough to play with a full band?
Maracas are a cutting, high-frequency sound that sits above most of a mix. In a loud amplified band you may still want a microphone.
03Can a beginner use these?
Yes. Maracas have no tuning or setup, so the only learning curve is the wrist technique and timing.
04How do I clean them?
Wipe the shells with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not soak them or let water get inside, since the internal fill affects the sound.
