Shakers & 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
