Shakers and percussion

Shakers, maracas and rainsticks are great material for sound design and further processing. For this library I recorded various ethnic shakers, maracas, rainsticks of different sizes and other unusual esoteric percussion instruments, like Kapel’ (circular shaker) or giant-size custom built rainstick.

These percussion instruments were recorded from various angles, dynamics and with pristine sound quality, which can be further processed, granulated or pitch-mangled to push your sound design boundaries further.

Recorded instruments:

• African seed pod shaker
• Gourd maracas
• Goat toe shaker
• African seed wrist shaker
• Cluster bell shaker
• Kapel’ circular rainstick
• Rainsticks of different sizes
• Coconut maracas
• Ocean Drum
• Singing frog and etc

What you get:

• Large collection of different shakers, maracas, rainsticks and exotic percussion
• Great for further processing and complex soundscapes, music production and sound design
• Recorded with high-end Sennheiser MS setup and Barcus Berry contact mics in 96Khz/24bit
• Metadata for search engines, UCS compliant
