I was happy to QUICKLY receive “The Thigpen,” a small sized cap rattle. I love that Curtis has named these instruments after our drum heroes. I was fortunate to have met and spent a few wonderful hours with Mr. Thigpen, in the early 2000s & this chose the model named for him. The upcycled caps are cleaned very well & the construction is solid… I’ve enjoyed using them to add a little more color to my sound!!

Curtis responded on Aug 26, 2026

Beautiful!! Glad you dig it!! And Mr. Thigpen was definitely one of the greatest ever to do it

What a creative and ingenious percussion instrument! They sound just as good if not better than your classic shaker toys from a music store. It's also a great addition to any drum kit setup. I'm a professional drummer and I've gotten many compliments from the gigs that I use this rattler on. Adds a really nice extra 'oomph' to hi hats, or works great on a snare, muffling the overtones and giving it some crunch. The rattler feels sturdy and well made, I don't think any of the caps are coming loose anytime soon. A perfect gift for any music lover!!

Thank you so much!! Couldn't have said it better myself!!
