Shaker plat compact
This flat shaker is a percussion instrument with a rectangular profile, filled with steel pellets and designed for precise, articulate sound production. The flat playing surfaces are made from sound-optimised composite material, allowing you to modulate the tone by varying the pressure you apply—a feature that distinguishes it from traditional round shakers and opens up a wider range of sonic control.
Design and Playing Technique
The elongated, flat shape offers practical advantages for both handling and versatility. You can shake the instrument lengthwise or crosswise, each orientation producing different tonal characteristics. The flat surfaces respond to pressure variation, meaning a light shake generates one quality of sound while a sharper, more forceful movement produces another. This pressure-responsive design is the defining feature that sets flat shakers apart from cylindrical alternatives.
The compact dimensions allow the instrument to fit comfortably in a pocket while still delivering substantial projection and acoustic presence. The weight has been carefully calibrated to provide balanced haptic feedback and responsiveness during play.
Sound and Applications
Steel pellets produce clear, cutting tones with good articulation—ideal for acoustic performances where definition is important, studio recording sessions where precision tracking matters, and portable percussion work where both portability and audibility are required. The richer, deeper resonance that comes from the larger volume of filling compared to smaller pocket shakers gives this instrument more presence than its compact size might suggest.
What's Included
- One Shaker plat compact
Materials
The instrument is constructed from wood with steel pellets as the filling material. The composite material of the playing surfaces has been engineered to optimise sound projection and tonal response under pressure.
Flat shakers occupy a distinct place in contemporary percussion practice, valued for their responsiveness to playing technique and their ability to deliver articulate, controlled sound in intimate and amplified settings alike.
