The silky-smooth family of Luis Conte signature shakers was designed by MEINL with the master percussionist himself. Two shakers connected as one, these were made to fit just about any playing situation while meeting Conte's expectations for sound, feel and durability. Separate filling chambers were connected into one shaker to deliver an exceptionally well-rounded and filling sound that's easy to control. An exclusive and eye-catching Sea Foam finish adds some visual pop to your performances. For easy groove shaping, and adding movement to any rhythm, grip the shaker in the middle where the ends meet. Gripping the shaker with your fingertips and holding it parallel to the ground yields the best sound. The shape of the shaker makes it easy to get a solid grip whether you're playing softly or loud and energetically. This  version of Luis Conte's three signature shakers sits between the ultra-soft (red) and loud (gray) models in both volume and attack, for a medium volume that has a buttery, smooth attack and effortless touch. On stage or in the studio, these Luis Conte signature shakers work with any percussion setup or drum kit—and complement a cajon especially well. The durable, all-weather synthetic shell is made to endure heavy touring for consistent sound with longevity.
