This Cabasa can make alot of noise. Might not be up to 'proffesional' standards but for the pricepoint these are great!
Versitile in sound production: shake it, twist it; use your hands or fingers to roll or flick the beads - one row or many.
Sound: it is a great noise maker. Guess I never knew what Cabasa really was until I got my own. Loud and noisy, will cut through your sound and give a great beat.
I got this to get some breadth in my soundscope, natural sound to make the mix rocking or just getting those interesting sounds from left field.
Someone mentioned that the handle can twist off; well it is screwed on but if your head is also screwed on you will notice when the handle gets a bit loose. There is no loss or gain in sound screwing it in tight so just make it fast and you are ready to rock.
