Meinl Percussion SH9-L-S Round Aluminum Shaker, Large

EXCELLENT ""SLUSH"" SOUND: this is our quintessential round metal shaker that gives you a great slushy shaker effect; works for all styles and settings. WHY IT MATTERS: it's softer than hihats and snare, so it blends perfectly with the drum set to give the music an undulating effect that fills space between beats. DRIVING THE SOUND: an anodized aluminum body produces crisp mid-range tone with shimmering response; the large round shape softens definition and leaves plenty of room to get some nice shaker ""throw"". WHERE TO PLAY: use for acoustic sets, under microphones in louder live settings, recording, jam sessions, or with a worship team; dynamics are versatile from louder accents that fill space to soft motions for light, jazzy ballads. OF NOTE: its aluminum build cuts down weight but is also very durable, so it's lightweight but will stand up to heavy touring, energetic live shows, or whatever you need it for. BY THE NUMBERS: 9 1/4"" L x 2 1/2"" W. THE TAKEAWAY: this is Meinl's ""slushiest"" sounding metal shaker. THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
