What is this instrument?

It can be heard in literally the first two seconds of 'Waka's Promenade' on YouTube (not Waka's theme). I went to my school's band concert but I wasn't able to inquire about it. It's some sort of percussion instrument?
It produces a continual sound faster than (but not unlike) a drum-roll for a few seconds.

Anyway, please look for the video and if you know what it is called please let me know.

Thanks!

Crap. Dangit. I know what it is, I just can't remember it's name. I seem to remember it having a sphere attached to it.
