Kashaka Pro have been developed to create a Kashaka with the level of quality & durability that would be expected of a professional percussion instrument, while also being affordable for the casual player and for beginners. They are also robust enough to be used in educational settings, workshops, classrooms etc. 

Developed in UK by a professional percussionist & experienced Kashaka player (see videos) - Kashaka UK make genuine professional quality Kashaka Pro instruments - these are high quality strong playable instruments which will not break when played. Great for use as regular shakers too, with crisp sound & precise playability, suitable for performance, recording, workshops etc. The plastic used has shock absorbing qualities, which softens the sound, making it closer to natural gourd sound, unlike the hard ABS plastic versions, which have a harsh, unpleasant clack noise and can hurt the ears if played for long. The shock absorpsion also means that Kashaka Pro won't break if dropped. ABS plastic is hard and brittle & can crack when playing or if dropped.


Kashaka UK are driven by the love of rhythm & Kashakas, not just by money & profit. Every Kashaka is carefully crafted by hand in UK to bring you the best Kashaka experience. By buying Kashaka UK products you are supporting an independent artist & musician. 

Watch the videos below to see that these are professional quality instruments, hand made by Kashaka specialists for Kashaka players, not mass produced in a Chinese toy factory. 

Kashaka make great gifts for your musical friends!

The completely spherical high density plastic balls, all with equal sizes, shapes and equally balanced filling helps with the ability to control and to play more advanced kashaka skills. This balance of size, shape and weight also helps with very consistent playing, timing & dynamics – very smooth shaker sounds & clear balanced clicks.

Strength: ‘Kashaka for Life ’ –  Kashaka Pro are very strong and will not break during use or if you drop them while playing, nor will they get crushed in your pocket or bag etc. These are possibly the strongest Kashaka available - much stronger than gourds or wooden kashaka and stronger that ABS plastic, which is hard & brittle, so can crack when playing or if dropped. Kashaka Pro are Made in UK by Kashaka UK who specialise in Kashaka products - Kashaka UK don't make or sell other items or toys. These are proper percussion instruments made to be played and last for a long time.

Sound: Very good balance between click & shake sounds. Each ball is filled with metal split beads, giving a bright, resonant and very smooth shake sound. The small metal beads give very good action & control when played as regular shakers, while also having great balance & momentum when played with kashaka techniques. 

Feel: Very smooth, while not too slippery (silk finish, not gloss). Very good handling and control for playing advanced skills and moves.

Size: 45mm spherical balls suitable for most hand sizes & ideal for beginners. (larger 50mm & smaller 38mm also available - see other items for sale).

Rope: The multi plaited rope is comfortable in the hand and is very strong. Heat sealed ends to prevent fraying. Adjustable for all hand sizes. Properly adjustable = knot on the outside of each ball to adjust quickly & easily. The rope guides protect the rope from snagging, reducing wear and friction and ensuring that the balls can turn freely on the rope - a huge benefit when playing advanced Kashaka techniques.

Colour: Clear / Cloudy / Translucent. You can see the filling move around inside the balls when playing. Over time & with a lot of use, a slight silver discolouration can occur inside the balls caused by the metal bead filling. This does not affect the sound or playing of the Kashaka in any way.

Supplied with natural cotton Kashaka pouch.
