What's that bendy/metallic-sounding percussion instrument in "Hypnotize"/"Rise"/every other DJ Quik production?

I got to play around with one of these in elementary school or something. Every time I hear it on a record it bugs the hell out of me cause I can't come up with what it is.

probably a flexatone

i know the sound you mean, i just never gave it much thought and assumed it was the slide tone from a conga or something (see: the drum break in 'scorpio') but i'm not sure.. don't think it's a flexatone, but all i know about that is what i just looked up on wikipedia.

I think that's it. Thank you.

Very noticeable on 'Let's Get Down' feat. Tony Toni Tone off Rare and Unreleased.
