OKay, I'm going to fire up one of the songs I'm working on right now and show you how I can add a track of this in there, how it will sound pretty cool. (Audio demo) This is how it's done. This Rain stick is also made out of cactus. It's larger in diameter and gives a different tone. I believe the beans inside of it are smaller or it's like a sandy kind of material. Listen. Pretty nice, huh? You can also use this one as a shaker. It's more gentle sound. Alright, now I'm going to use this Rain stick on a different song that I'm working on right now. It's a slower song and I want you to hear the difference in the song. (Audio demo) Isn't that pretty?
