Step 4Filling the rainstick
I used lentils to fill the rainstick with, but I have built others with pea gravel, red beans, dried peas, even marbles. So make sure to mix and match what you use inside the rainstick to get the sound you want.
A good mix is lentils and something larger, like red or white beans. The lentils travel through the tube the fastest because of their small size, while the red beans follow slower, but continue and raise the sounds to a much larger and louder sound. Makes it more realistic in my opinion.
Play around with the different sizes and amounts until you get a sound you like.
