Latin Percussions 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.
