Particle System wont play?

Okay so I have a particle system that is supposed to play when the first person controllers cameras transform is between 300 and 360. For some reason this doesnt work but the debug.log does get printed. I dont know whats going on. Im sure the script is on the right object and that the particle system has been set to rainDrops in the inspector. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Here's the script

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class RainDrops : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public ParticleSystem rainDrops;
 
     void Start(){
         rainDrops.Stop();
     }
 
     void Update () {
         if (transform.eulerAngles.x >= 300 && transform.eulerAngles.x <= 360) {
                 rainDrops.Play();
             Debug.Log("shit works");
         }
         else{
             rainDrops.Stop();
         }
     }
 }
