 Native American Hand Drum Native American hand drums have a long history. The music produced by the Indian people has been shaped by many changes throughout time, along with the appreciation and love for the natural world and its properties. Drumming has always been included as it is something engaging and appealing to one’s inner self. There is a common sound in the music produced although different tribes produce variations. Native American hand drum frames are made of a hollowed out log or wooden slats. Rawhide animal skin such as goat, elk and buffalo are stretched across the surface and secured using sinew thongs. These drums can be large, even to the size of two to three feet in diameter. During an event such as a powwow, this would be the type most commonly used by groups of men. There are also some variations between tribes in which individual drums are used only by men. Some drums are simply made as a means of decoration, while others are made specifically for music. The Iroquois water drum is a unique variation to the traditional hand drum. Whenever it is played,this cup shaped drum creates a distinct sound and pitch. The Yaqui drum is another unusual type. It is played with a drum stick and the water acts as the resonator for the sound produced by the drum. The existence and deep appreciation for Native American hand drums can be attributed to the nature of their music. These drums lead by defining the beat and pace of the performance. The beat begins slowly and then moves to a faster pace rapidly. Significantly unique to traditional Native American music, it is emphatic and adds a very distinct sound. The rhythmic nature of Native American music is well suited for the beat and dramatic percussion of Native American hand drums. One sided shaman drums are mostly used for ceremonial dances, rituals, as well as storytelling and other traditional activities that define the special culture and the various aspects of the environment. Some of the most popular events where hand drums are used are powwows and drumming circles. Interest has grown by people in drums used for meditating and for sweat lodges. These special Indian made hand drums are often used as wall hangings is a rustic type decor. To any space and surrounding area where they are played, Native American hand drums bring life and positive energy. As you sit and listen to the steady rhythmic sound, something almost magical takes place.
