Members kmart Posted June 27, 2011 Members Share Posted June 27, 2011 - Monsoon Rainmaker- Cactus Rain SticksBoth the same concept, just different materials in construction. A long-ish tube filled with material, that when turned upside down, makes the sound of rain. Kind of.The cactus ones are exactly that: dried cacti with dried cactus needles inside. If you listen REAL close, it doesn't sound much like rain, but a few feet away, and...yeah. fair enough effect. - One Handed TriangleDo you REALLY need an explanation on what this is/does?It's a triangle that can be played with only...One hand. - Ching ChokDespite the Asian-sounding name, I believe it's actually more of a Brazilian item. Somewhat of a cricket sound. - LP CricketMakes the sound of a cow. - LP UttersNever heard of this, but a quick Google search yields an interesting bit of detail; makes a sound like a flock of birds. -Pocket KokirikoSmall version of the traditional Japanese item. Makes a sound like dominoes falling. - basket GanzaA shaker of some sort. never heard of this either. -Meinl CajitaBased on an old South American instrument; a little wooden box worn around the neck and played with a small wooden striker. Heard OF this, but never heard one played. I musta been gone way too long cause I never heard or have seen any of these things...that is unless they were called somethging different way back when...

Members kmart Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 How many of you have used brake drums off a car! "Test drove" some we got when taking in the inventory left behind when Frank's/Drums Ltd. shut their doors, but never in an actual playing environment.
