Introducing the Drums for Schools natural bamboo rainstick - 40cm The Drums for Schools Natural Bamboo Rainstick (40cm) is a beautifully simple percussion instrument made from a length of bamboo, pierced with an internal spiral of pegs. As the enclosed stones fall through the stick, they create the gentle, soothing sound of rain. The longer the rainstick, the longer the “shower” – and at 40cm, this model offers a satisfying yet easily manageable effect, perfect for players of all ages. Lightweight and durable, it’s equally at home in schools, therapy settings, or live performance, where it adds texture, atmosphere, and calm. How to play As a shaker: Hold in one or both hands and rock back and forth. As a rainstick: Slowly tip the instrument upside down to let the stones cascade. The slower you tip, the longer the shower will last. Try rotating as you tip to vary the sound and texture. To stop the “rain,” simply hold the stick horizontally for complete control.
