Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The result of a close collaboration with Luis Conte, this shaker series offers three complementary sonic personalities. The Stadium version sits at the top in terms of projection and impact, designed to cut through the mix in live settings. True to the musician's aesthetic, the timbre is silky and controlled, reflecting his formula: "My shaker sound is as smooth as silk."
Who This Instrument Is For
This shaker targets intermediate to expert percussionists seeking a reliable tool for the stage, but it is also suitable for motivated beginners looking for a lasting reference. It excels in Latin, pop, funk, world repertoires and all productions requiring a clear and steady pulse, both in live and studio settings.
Features and Innovations
The "two-in-one" design combines two agitators housed within a single body to multiply playing nuances without changing instruments. The medium size balances comfort and control, while the plastic shell ensures stability and timbre consistency. The Stadium version stands out with a higher volume, sharper attack, and increased precision, ideal for dense arrangements.
Sound
The Stadium Shaker delivers generous projection with a clear and readable attack. The grain remains soft and "satin-like," facilitating fast patterns as well as soft, sustained strokes at low volume. Thanks to its dual configuration, the dynamic response is wide: it goes from a subtle whisper to a powerful accent without losing definition. The stability of the plastic shell promotes exemplary consistency, useful for mic recordings and click-based grooves.
