"If anyone knows the correct name of those instruments, please drop me a comment."

I've always heard them called by the term "Rattle Drum" since they look/work like a rattle, but with the seeds outside instead of inside. There is a Wikipedia article about them, giving names used in other languages ("den-den daiko" in Japan, etc.). I have one, too, which I bought 20-or-so years ago!

WoW! I can't believe you have one and I'm pleased to know the name.
There were many of them in the shops and they all had different sounds, which is interesting... just like with drums.

You're right. I saw something about rattle pop up when I searched online.
I watched the video of how they play it and the girl in the shop showed me a similar movement.

It's interesting to learn that they are of Japanese origin (as toys).

We have similar things in Jamaica, but I cannot remember the name of the material used.

Thank you 😊 I treasure that photo because she saw me sitting there and identified the iconic Bob Marley photo with quotes and sat beside me and asked to take the photo ❤️
