LP 441T-L Twist Shaker Loud

As I'm a singer in a band I do have a tambourine on stage but for the more acoustic songs I felt the tambourine was too loud, so I start using shakers.

I first bought the blue twist shaker and as nice as it sounded I noticed it was very hard to hear out front, so I bought the loudest of the three and this one seems to power trough a bit better although I do love the softer sounding shakers that sound like they are filled with sand,
this one sounds like its filled with rice if that makes sense?

This one is the one I would go with in a full band set up.

do what they are supposed to. good sound for the money. should have bought two of them to have a even fuller sound, but they will do as theay are by them selfs.

i appreciate that you can split this shaker for a combined rithm. i use it mostly splitted. maybe this shaker sounds a little too dry, but the volume is really loud.
