Bird Hand Drum and Beater

SKU: N9 Category: Native

Materials
The rawhide drumhead is stretched over a round, wooden frame built up of many pieces of wood called a shell.

Description
The frame drum, a drum that has a drumhead width greater than its depth, is believed to be one of the oldest Native American drums of all, and one of the oldest instruments of any kind. Some Native American shamans have historically used these drums to provide a beat that allows them to enter into a trance-like state, hence their alternate name of shaman drums. The various animals depicted on the drums are to invoke the spirit and attributes of that animal. Here may depict a bird the physical form of a spirit helper and guide.
