ELPHNT has introduced SHAKE, a high quality free (pay what you want) collection of shaker and tambourine loops and one shot samples in WAV format.
The loops and one shot samples are provided in two different packs which can be downloaded separately. The loops pack contains 48 audio loops in total, labeled by instrument type and BPM value (100 BPM and 120 BPM). The one shots pack contains 47 individual samples, labeled by instrument type.

Both the loops and the one shot samples have been trimmed and edited very precisely and it’s super easy to fit them into any project, being that they’re provided in 24-bit WAV format. The recordings are clean and almost completely dry, making it possible to process the raw sounds to your liking.
On a related note, ELPHNT has recently released another freely downloadable sample library titled Drones & Noises. It contains 35 extra long drone sounds, adding up to a total of 35 minutes worth of audio material. These drones were created with the intention of adding a bit of noise and texture to music, in order to make “inside the box” digital projects sound less sterile and clean.
Both products can be downloaded completely free of charge via Gumroad (product page is linked below, valid email address required). Optional donations are welcome if you’d like to support the author and his sound design work.
SHAKE is available for free download via Gumroad (2 separate downloads, ZIP archive, contains 48 audio loops & 47 one shot samples in 24-bit WAV format).
