Participate in Native American Indian Drum Ceremonies With A Beautiful Hand-Crafted Frame or Hoop Drum on Sale at Discount Prices

Perhaps the simplest of all drums, the Native American frame drum, also called a hoop drum, is the basic form that is found all over the world. It is an easy-to-play drum and very portable. Native American Indian frame and hoop drums can range in sizes from the very small, perhaps only a few inches, to some that are several feet in diameter. A mallet is usually used to beat the Indian drum, and is covered with various kinds of materials - deer, elk, bison, moose or horse hides, depending on your preference. A drum mallet is really helpful when you are participating in a long Native American Indian drum ceremony; it keeps your hands from getting achy and tender.

An interesting thing about a Native American Indian frame drum is that since it is open on one side it is actually more difficult to make than a drum that is covered on both ends. A Native American Indian frame drum is covered with an animal skin that has to be stretched and held in place from behind. This requires an intricate weaving of sinews to both create tension on the skin head, and a handle for the drummer to hold.

Many owners of Native American Indian frame or hoop ceremonial drums paint pictures on the heads of their drums. Family or personal totems are often the subject for this form of personalization. Other drummers have a professional artist do the painting or purchase a Native American Indian drum that has already been decorated. This does not affect the sound of the drum; it will still have a beautiful tone and add a unique visual element to Native American or any other type of ceremonies.
