Detail 04

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How loud is it?
Hand-shaker volume. It sits under a drum kit acoustically and needs a microphone to be heard in a loud live mix.
02Can I open it and change the fill?
No. It is sealed. The sound is fixed.
03Do I need a mount or stand?
No. It is played in the hand and nothing is included or required.
04Is this good for recording?
Yes. A sealed hand shaker gives consistent attack take to take, which is what makes overdubbed shaker parts sit cleanly.
