Wooden stick celebrates have been discovered along the coast of Peru in archaeological digs. They were filled with pebbles or seeds and made from reeds closed on both ends. Palm needles were stuck in the walls of the reeds. They were used in ceremonies by the Inca to bring rain.
The history of the rainstick is not officially known. It is believed that the rainstick was invented by the Aztec Indians.

Some say that the instrument was invented by the Aztecs, and that it later spread throughout Central and South America. This is probably not the case, since rainsticks are not found archaeologically or in Spanish accounts
The Aztecs made the rainstick because they believed it could bring much needed rain. The Aztecs crafted the rainsticks out of cactus.
It is believed that rainsticks originated among the tribes of Chile and Peru, but the name of the tribe(s) are unknown.
Rainsticks for centuries have been used in ceremonial rituals by various groups to bring rain to badly needed areas.
Active instruments include guitars, drums, and keyboards that require manual input to produce sound. Passive instruments include wind chimes, singing bowls, and rainsticks that produce sound through vibrations and resonance without the need for direct manipulation.
The musical instruments that are shaken are a form of percussion instrument. They include: -- bells -- tambourines (hand rings or drums ringed with small cymbal sets) -- maracas (bead-filled hollow wooden shakers) -- rainsticks (bead-filled sealed tubes that mimic the sound of raindrops falling)
