LP LP441 Soft Shake

Gets the job done and durable

After several egg shakers I decided to try these for my cajon/drum setup for acoustic jams and recording. You can get some volume out of these. The good kind, of course. They have a soft hit unlike plastic and wood egg shakers which have a coarse and harsh tone when the contents hit the sides. These feel very comfortable in hand and are very responsive to movement. Worth the price.

Too soft for my use. I am trying to get use to it.

Great instrument to add some background flavor to your music. Well worth the investment. Good to use for almost any kind of music genre. A very smooth sound of sand that almost sounds like a soft rain.

These things are so cool! Yes, they do have a soft sound, but thats why they are amazing! The sound is so precise and so unique. I have used these in every form of music from Indie Rock to Jazz and you can hear these settle in with the music. They are not meant to be the forefront of the beat... Compare it to a Jelly Doughnut: The music is the whole doughnut, and on the outside looks and sounds great....but the party is on the inside. These shakers are that party-filled cream of the inside of a doughnut. And yes, play them with an egg....it gives the egg a great undertone! These define hand shakers for me.

These shakers will not disappoint you. First and foremost they are what the name says, soft. However you can play them harder and get a very precise, somewhat hard, sound from them. But one of the most underrated sounds from a shaker is to get a nice shaker sound without the ?click? of the material hitting the shell. You can achieve this and many other sounds from these LP shakers. I would recommend buying these to anyone. The absolute best shake sound I?ve ever heard is this soft LP shaker combined with an ?egg? shake. Try it; you won?t believe it!
