NAMM 2014: Equip your feet with Meinl’s Foot Shaker. This is a hands-free instrument that delivers a precise, cutting shaker effect to go with any beat and set up.

Sea Drum

Sea Drum

NAMM 2014: Meinl’s Sea Drums create the soothing sounds of the surf, with a great new feature: Meinl have sealed the little steel balls between two drum heads, one synthetic and the other natural goatskin. This means you can choose between two completely different timbres within the same drum. A sealable filling port allows you to control the amount of steel balls inside. Sea drums are 16”x2¾”.

Simply altering the tension of your fingers on the top allows these shakers to change pitch, adding a unique sonic spectrum to your playing.
