There is a tube-like percussion instrument made of wood that holds a large number of beads, or something to that effect. When you turn the stick from one end to the other, or upside down from the original position, the beads travel through the stick to the opposite end resulting in a sound closely resembling rain or water flowing over rocks. Then you turn it back over and it repeats. It takes up to 30 seconds or so...that may be an exageration...for the beads to reach the other end. It's a very calming sound.
The rain stick is not technically considered an instrument, but is usually classified as a percussion instrument, I think... It's called a shaker, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaker_%28percussion%29
A guy got bored and decided to get a stick and fill it with some beans. Surprisingly, the man discovered that it sounded like rain! Shocked, the man ran into Dillons and said, "I have a rain stick!" and everyone dropped their yogurt and assorted grocery items and said, "wow, dude that's awesome". Feeling very good of himself the man said....

aside from the tourist aspect, the are people that believe the rain is the voice/sound of god and when silence is being requested by a head person, the rain stick is used to implement a respected silence, much like a judge's gavel.
