Manipulate Shaker Sound

Change Your Grip / Change Your Tone

Simply grasp the shaker with more of your hand area (or use both hands). The "highs" will be decreased and the tone will be darker.  Loosen your grip and use less hand area to achieve a brighter sound.  You might use a darker tone on the bridge of a song and move to a brighter sound as you proceed to the chorus.  Stay close to the microphone so that the subtle tone shift can be heard.
