Using some common hardware and a contact mic, you can build an electric rainstick that delivers a surprisingly varied and subtle tone. They are fairly inexpensive to make, can be completed in less than an hour, and are loads of fun.

About the Maker(s)

Duane O'Brien
When I was 10 my parents gave me a Micronauts tank that fired plastic missiles, but they glued the missiles in with super glue. I've been taking things apart ever since. Anything important I know about making noise, I owe to Will Robot. We're in Makersfield together. Makersfield is a Maker collective in Oakland, CA.
