Percussive shaker (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maraca

(Other definitions for maraca that I've seen before include "Instrument made from a filled gourd" , "One of a pair of hollow pieces of wood or bone for Spanish dancing" , "One of a pair used by Spanish dancer" , "Rattle used as a rhythm instrument" , "Percussion instrument played in pairs" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
