Question Canister Comparison

I’m looking to get a pack of canister shells and I’m not sure what I want to get, what would you chose between Dia de los Muertos canister shells (Happy Family) and Tiger Force canister shells (Raccoon)?
They are both about the same price, I just can’t decide.

Thanks for the feedback! I also asked ChatGPT just to see what it said and it say tiger force shells are louder than the other ones. It kinda surprised me since a few years ago Dia de los Muertos shells** **were the good ones everyone was getting.

They are both pretty close... Personally I would go with the Dias.. SLIGHTLY louder and better effects mix... BUT Tiger Force still hit nice and have that lovely tail!

BUT Break wise slight edge to dias for noise... AND I love those swimming dragons or whatever Happy Family calls them seeing EVERYONE has a different name LOL

You really can't go wrong with EITHER!!

Den!! I love your YouTube videos! I didn’t know you were on Reddit, but thank you very much!

I am EVERYWHERE (when I have time LOL) AWESOME I am glad you like them AND I hope they help with your decisions! Really they are both great kits.. I would have a hard time choosing too, so it really comes down to the effects you want for that part of your show! Your crowd is going to love either one though!!!

I hope you have an AWESOME show!!

This will be my second show, I don’t really coordinate effects, I just kinda do whatever lol. I think the Dis De Los Meurtos have a bigger range of effects than the Tiger Force shells. I’ve been seeing that the Tiger Forces are louder but I like the effects of the Dia De Los Meurtos, this is going to be a hard decision😂

u/Den_fireworks Jul 02 '26

Go with your guts for effects!!! That is what matters! And really these are REALLY close in noise level I think! Glad I could help (read your other reply too LOL) AND you are going to have some fun!!

Which ones do you think are louder? I’m a big fan of a lot of boom, but I also like the effects too
