Terre Ankle Shaker Pangi Seeds

This is my favourite among the Terré shakers: its sound is not as aggressive as the juju beans and it has a watery and exotic quality, but it is loud enough to be heard. I bought the shakers with the purpose of modifying the sound of the snare drum and cymbals ? the most effective result is obtained when placing it over the hi-hats and the left foot is used to keep time. The ankle shakers have the right size for this purpose: bracelet shakers are too small to make themselves heard and a bigger shaker would be too heavy for the hi-hat. The shakers are carefully crafted and surely there?s a lot of manual work involved and I wonder how they can be sold so cheap. The image of the pangi seeds ankle shaker on the Thomann website is not correct: it shows the juju beans ankle shaker. If you want to know how the pangi seeds look you must refer to the bracelet shaker.

I bought this ankle shaker to use alongside djembe, but I found this more useful as a percussive instrument for recordings (by recording separately). As well I tried to experiment and use it on cymbals as a sort of demfer/shaker stuff, and it sounded pretty good as well.

sadly original product looks bit different than in a picture provided in the description, but it is still usable and awesome sounding piece of gear for drummer or percussionist.

the durability of this shaker is not really impressive, but it depends on how you will use it. The connections of pieces are not perfect, but it is easily repaired so there is no big problem because of it.
