MEINL Percussion Double Shaker – Coconut Bottom

MEINL Percussion Handwoven Rattan Double Shaker (Coconut Bottom) – DO1
Introduce authentic tribal color, exceptional acoustic projection, and multi-layered rhythmic textures to your music with the Meinl Percussion Handwoven Rattan Double Shaker (DO1). Traditionally designed as a hybrid Double Caxixi Shaker, this premium hand instrument features two individual shaker baskets connected by a single, comfortable rattan handle loop.
Masterfully woven by hand, it combines natural rattan with dense coconut shells to offer two completely distinct acoustic sound signatures within a single core instrument.
Advanced Dual-Sound Design (Caxixi Architecture)
What sets the Meinl DO1 Double Shaker apart from conventional shakers is its split mechanical response: [1]
1. Lateral Shaking (Mellow Tone): Striking the filling against the handwoven rattan side walls produces a soft, warm, velvety, and earthy timber—perfect for continuous, low-volume timing.
2. Vertical Striking (Crisp Accents): Driving the internal beads directly downward against the hard coconut bottom plate releases sharp, high-pitched, and cutting accents. This dual setup allows you to execute precise syncopation and distinct dynamic breaks that are usually impossible with basic shakers. [1, 2]
