Native American percussion sounds.
I'm working on a children's song which involves Native American percussion sounds. I'm hoping to give them a rythm section they can play. I can get away with a drum set but there seems to be no equivalent to a rattle. I can likely use bongos or tom tom. At the moment it is the rattle that's the problem. Tried a shaker and it'1. too quiet and 2. not the right tone. Any suggestions?

MIDI key number 70 is the drum sound for maracas - which produce a rattle sound.
You can edit the drum set to include that sound. Adding tremolo "shakes" the rattle.

Thank you. As a non percussionist this helps.
