Latin Percussion s new patent-pending Twist Shaker is a set of twin dumbbell-shaped shakers that are connected with a unique rotating lock mechanism that allows them to be played together in one hand or individually in each hand. Because the Shakers can be twisted apart musicians can experiment with different volume combinations to achieve exactly the sound they are looking for. LP Twist Shakers come in three different volume levels: Soft (Yellow - LP441T-S) which is ideal for studio and acoustic performances; Medium (Blue - LP441T-M) which is versatile for use in nearly any musical situation and Loud (Red - LP441T-L) which is perfect for live performances when you really need to be heard.
