An African percussion instrument of the idiophone group, kass kass (or “kess kess”) are a pair of dried up seed pods joined by a short length of thong. Shaken and knocked, these ball shakers can give rise to innumerable rhythmic combinations.


This good-quality, standard Kess kess are hand-made in Asia. Very simple, made from fruits, it is particularly easy to carry and can be included into a wide variety of percussion styles.

2 different cord lengths are available according to your hand size.

The playing principle is based on a good coordination of arm/hand movements (each hand holding a pair of pods) to progressively increase the number of rhythmic combinations and explore the richness of this –only-seemingly basic instrument.

Available cord lenghts : 

  • 10.5cm (Small to medium hands sizes) : KESS1
  • 12cm (Big hand size) : KESS1A

    Hello, I'm very happy with the order and you have put a third one on it. Thank you because one of them is broken. (Translated review)

    Barely enough time to know how to play it properly that the product breaks. I oiled it after each use, and in 3 days (3h of play cumulated?) the product cracked, one day later it got a hole and the beads fell everywhere in the room. Too bad because it is an exciting instrument. (Translated review)
