The Korena take

Double-chamber hand shaker designed with Luis Conte. Medium volume makes it a general-purpose choice for live percussion and studio overdubs.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Latin and pop percussion parts alongside congas or timbales
  • Studio overdubs where a shaker needs to sit under vocals
  • Live players who want one shaker to cover most songs

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players needing a loud shaker for unamplified outdoor gigs
  • Anyone wanting a very soft, whispery studio-only shaker
  • Drummers looking for a mountable or foot-operated shaker

MEINL Luis Conte Double Live Shaker Black construction detail

Detail 01

Double shaker design

Two chambers, one at each end. Flip it or use a forward-and-back stroke to get two distinct sounds from one instrument.

Detail 02

Medium volume

Loud enough to be heard against a drum kit, quiet enough not to swamp a vocal in a studio take.

Detail 03

6.875 in. long

Fits a closed hand comfortably. Long enough for a full wrist stroke without feeling bulky.

Detail 04

3.125 in. wide

Wide body means a broader fill of shot inside, giving a fuller, less pointed sound than a thin tube shaker.

Detail 05

Under $20

Low enough to keep one in a gig bag as a spare or a second color.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Sealed body. The fill can't be adjusted or refilled to change volume.
  2. 02No bag or pouch included.
  3. 03Not stand-mountable. Hand-held only.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Why is it called a double shaker?

It has a chamber at each end, so a single forward-and-back stroke produces two attacks. It also lets you pick between two sounds by which end you lead with.

02Is this loud enough to play with a drum kit?

It's rated medium volume, which sits it in the middle of the shaker range. It holds up next to a kit at moderate stage levels; for a loud rock stage you'd want a louder shaker or a mic.

03Can I change how loud it is?

Only by how hard you play it. The body is sealed, so the fill can't be swapped or topped up.

04What size is it?

About 6.875 inches long and 3.125 inches wide.
