Members CosmicArp Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey Harmony Rhythm Crew Anyone know of a super loud (unamplified acoustic) shaker instrument. Im imagining some kind of metal resonant maracka or something? needs to be really quite loud to play with other drums and guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cross Eyed Mary Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Any shaker is going to have volume limits. Find a large metal container and fill it full of beans and {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 Get a metal thermos and fill it with ball bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cheeseadiddle Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 How come you don't build stave snares and kits? You got the skill and most likely the equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slap happy drums Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I lack the hardware to complete the drums and a lathe to perfectly round the insides (I might be able to use a drum sander attachment on my shopsmith...?), but I've often thought of it......kit style stave drums are cleaned out and rounded on the insides right? I'd like to try a BD or Snare sometime and get the hardware from Riolo or the net , just for shiggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you need a good sized lathe. Inside and out. But that's probably all you'd need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slap happy drums Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I'd really like to have a big lathe , a guy can make a lot of money with a big lathe.......that said lathes scare the {censored} out of me , I'll run just about any power tool , I love tools , I love lathes , but in all honesty lathes scare the crap out of me......still I really really want one. Oh yeah and thanks for the feedback on the shakers , they're pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marko46 Posted August 12, 2008 Members Share Posted August 12, 2008 I am a very satisfied customer of said shaker from Slaphappydrums. it is quite the handsome shaker and yes, it is loud. My old lady has told me so numerous times. She does that a lot about things I own, so I figure she has to be an expert on decible levels. The amazing thing is I had absolutly no idea when I married her. The things we are unknownly blessed with in life. Buy a Slaphappy Shaker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
