How
our Native American Drums are made. |
|
Our First
Nations people measure and cut out the cedar wood to the
required size to make the frames for our 17" Native Hand Drum.
Our Father Drum, which is 30" round and 12" deep, requires cow
hide on both sides of the drum. |
 |
|
|
|
We
use only the finest in natural materials for our very
unique Native American Drums. |
|
Individual sanding
and staining of the cedar frames makes each drum frame unique. The wood grain on
these frames are definitely one of a kind.
 Our
rawhide is all natural material; not one hide is ever bleached.
We use only the BEST for our Native Drums. Soaking the hide
enables us to stretch it over the beautiful cedar frames. After
soaking, the hide is stretched out so we can cut out the
drum heads and lacing. |
|
|
|
It's
important to know what is being used for lacing. We use the same
hide for our lacing and our drum heads. |
 It takes two people to make a
drum.
At
First Nations
Drumvision
our drums are tied with the
Dream catcher pattern. No two are
ever exactly the same.
After each drum is tied, they
are placed
on a rack to dry. |
