The Piñon coffee from Trader Joe's. Empty about 2/3 of it out into another container, then gaff the lid back on. Best mellow shaker sound in the world. And it's delicious!
Everything is going to be OK.

I'm late to the party, but if you still have some of those Easter bunny eggs lying around, fill them full of whatever and shake em. Then again you can buy the egg shakers pretty cheap. that and a ribbon mic goes a long way. If you stand back a couple feet and don't move you might not even need the hi-pass.

But if you don't move, how do you get the shaker to sound? :twisted:
