These shakers were designed according to master percussionist Luis Conte’s exact requirements‎.‎ “My shaker sound is as smooth as silk” is how Luis describes them‎.‎ The black shaker covers the middle ground between the red and grey versions‎.‎ It delivers ultra‎-smooth percussive colors that can blend well and cut at the same time‎,‎ responding beautifully at any volume level‎.‎ A little louder than the red shaker‎,‎ it is perfect to use for both studio and live situations‎.‎ Any drummer or percussionist will find this instrument extremely useful in their playing‎.‎ Whether playing a mic‎'‎d set or a softer unplugged gig with a cajon‎,‎ the Luis Conte black shaker dominates in versatility and musicality‎.‎ Pair with the red and grey models to complete the trio of sounds‎!‎
