Strong match

Who this is for

  • Adding a subtle shaker layer over an acoustic track
  • Classroom and kids' percussion where things get dropped
  • Keeping a spare in a gig bag or stick bag

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting the darker, drier sound of a wood shaker
  • Anyone needing a loud shaker over a full band
  • Percussionists who want to adjust the fill

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 01

Plastic shell

Brighter and crisper than wood, and it shrugs off humidity and drops that would crack a wooden shell.

Detail 02

Egg shape, no handle

Sits inside a closed palm. You can hold one in each hand or shake one while playing something else.

Detail 03

Sealed body

The fill is fixed. Volume and tone come from how hard and how fast you shake it, not from adjustment.

Detail 04

Green finish

Useful when you own several — you can grab the same one twice, or split colors across players in a class.

Detail 05

$2.99

Priced as a consumable. Buy a handful so a lost one during load-out is not a problem.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Sold as a single shaker, not a pair — order two for two-handed patterns
  2. 02Quiet by design; it will disappear under loud drums
  3. 03Close-mic it for recording rather than expecting it to carry a room

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Is this one shaker or a pair?

One. If you want to play a two-handed pattern or split them between players, order the quantity you need.

02How loud is it?

Quiet. It sits well over acoustic guitar or in a recording, but it will not cut through a full drum kit or an amplified band.

03Is it good for young kids?

Yes. The plastic shell handles drops that would split a wooden shaker, and the price makes replacements painless.

04Can I open it and change the fill?

No. The body is sealed, so the sound is fixed. You shape the part by how hard and how fast you shake it.
