About this item

• OUR MOST CRISP SOUNDING SHAKER: the Meinl StudioMix Shaker has a brilliant, crisp tone that spreads out with plenty of volume; its high frequency can carry across large rooms, over drums and guitars, and be easily picked up by studio mics
• WHY IT MATTERS: it's a sure bet you'll be heard playing live in acoustic or electric bands; plus, you can find a pinpoint spot in recording mixes to develop your track
• DRIVING THE SOUND: made with a 100% synthetic shell and special filling that projects well; it's also textured to produce a musical tone and give you a better grip
• YES, BUT: some might squawk if not metal or wood, but the clear tone, light feel, and ruggedness of synthetic tipped the scale for our designers; this is an incredibly rich sounding shaker that stands up to the elements
• OF NOTE: there is no heavy, lagging feel on your hand while playing the StudioMix shaker; the synthetic body cuts down weight so you can easily keep steady rhythms with consistent volume
• BY THE NUMBERS: this medium version measures 5" L x 2 1/2" W; the pitch is slightly higher than the large size
• THE BOTTOM LINE: the Meinl StudioMix Shaker will do the trick if you want a crisp and present shaker sound for your next recording or live gig
