Very nice, Clones..! Rock music indeed.
Thousands of years ago there was an official percussion instrument in China, with granite stones of different sizes hanging from ropes in a construction like the tubular bells nowadays.

Checked out : The chinese instrument is called 'Bianqing'.
This instrument category is called 'Lithophones'. See the Wiki about it :

Such instruments are also used quite recently :
