Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Hand-shaker level. It sits over a drum circle or acoustic group, but will not cut through an amplified band without a microphone.
Yes, close-miked. The seed fill gives a grainier, less uniform texture than a studio shaker, which is often what you want on top of a clean track.
Not exactly. Natural seeds and shells vary, so expect small differences in pitch and density between units.
It handles normal hand playing fine. The risk is dropping it or striking it against something hard, which can crack the shell.
