This is a jignle stick from India. It's about 10x2x0.5 inches, made of wood with flat brass jingles. It was purchased at Cost Plus in San Mateo, CA, USA.
The samples include single sharp hits, some of which have multiple bounces of the jingles, as well as softer hits made by twisting the stick. There is also a digitally reversed sample, and a loop of 1/8 notes accented in 4/4 at 120 BPM.
