Reed Rain Stick, a percussion instrument that is believed comes from Pre Inca Culture times that when is shacked or turned is able to emit a sound that closely resembles the flow of water or rain.
The Rain Stick consists in a reed tube where little pebbles, seeds and grains (like lentils, rice, sunflower seeds, etc…) collide with obstacles inside the tube thus generating a sound similar to the rain.
Depending on the type of rain stick, its loudness will change, producing a finer or more serious and exaggerated sound depending on the type of materials used. Other types of more percussive sounds can be achieved by gently shaking the tube.
