" ...a little less shaker in this section and fade it at the end of the phrase."
The ability to control an instrument throughout its dynamic range is crucial to good musicianship. Do not overlook this on shakers and tambourines. Practice playing patterns at low volume levels but with the same intensity and consistency as at louder levels. Can you fade up a roll and fade it down smoothly? Try the short exercise demonstrated in this video with tambourines, ganza, maracas, etc… Remember that the tendency is to build crescendos evenly but decrescendos are frequently faded too quickly.
