“The Pearl Bendo Nut Shaker PBBDSKRH is a hot seller. Nut and seed shakers are hot on the streets and they come in all shapes and sizes. Bendo, Kenari and Pangi nuts all have a dry sound and drum- mers commonly drape them from their hi-hats or a cymbal stand. But they can also be attached to wrists and ankles or held by hand.
