Bill Saragosa is well known for his highly original designs. The shapesand sounds of his creations are anything but ordinary. His instruments are a welcome addition to the percussion arsenal of professional and recreational musicians alike.

I am thrilled that my work has received the attention of MEINL Percussion and that we are able to offer my designs on a world-wide scale. I strongly recommend you, the player, to explore the full potential of these compact, ergonomic instruments. You will fi nd a surprising resource through new dimensions of sound.

The MEINL Spark Shaker is a very versatile instrument, and is unlike anything heard before. The sparkling, chirping, splashing tones readily mix with almost any musical flavour. The pod-like shape fits easily into the hand and may be manipulated for many interesting effects. Spark Shakers may be played in pairs, or in combination with other shakers for even more variations. Its as unique as the player who knows how to use it.

The MEINL Spin Spark Shaker is equipped with a screw-mounted disc that adjusts and amplifies the characteristics of the fundamental pitch. When the disc is tight, the pitch is highest; and it deepens as the disc is loosened. There is a distinctively pleasant supplemental timbre. The shaker may be manipulated in the hand for many filtering effects.

Right I guess that's what they call bad bed side manner? At first I was like useless but then after a bit there were a few sounds they made that I have heard in some house and trance and other electronic music but then I realized I don't need those to get those sounds which have been captured already all I need to do is render them and modify parameters much easier then holding them and doin all that the 2nd 2last sound was what I'm going for that wobble
