Rawhide drum heads
Rawhide Hand Drum heads
These rawhide drumheads are valued for their natural resonance, durability, and traditional appearance.
The rawhide is typically soaked, scraped, and stretched over a wooden frame or drum shell. Once dry, it becomes taut and produces a distinctive tone.
Come in sizes: 11”, 13”, 15”, 17”, 19” & 21”
Great for schools for traditional indigenous learning programs, Pow Wows and other traditional gatherings.
Powwow drums, or dance drums, are a focal point of Native American drumming circles. Similar to other instruments, a wooden frame or hollowed-out log makes up the base. Cedar is a popular choice in material. Sturdier rawhide, like buffalo or elk, is stretched across the opening and secured with thongs made of sinew.
It is a symbol of connection and relationship to all. Drums are often given as gifts in thanks for good work or to acknowledge an important relationship or time in someone's life.
