13-Inch Hand Drum: Natural (No International Sales, USA Shipping Only)

This 13-inch drum is handmade from stained deer hide and features a Indiana river stone embedded into its handle. Each custom drum features a unique stone that's worked into its centerpiece handle, providing a solid grip that connects the drum player to the intentional elements of that one-of-a-kind hand drum.Hand drums are both fun and easy to play! And they're a fantastic accompaniment to any of our flutes because hand drums are great at creating a rhythmic bass sound that the flute can play a melody over. The drum's diameter helps to determine the sound of the drum. Generally, the larger the drum the deeper tone. They also offer a variety of musical tones: the outer edges have a higher tone while the center of the drum has a deeper tone. All our hand drums are handmade by our friend Wayne Manthey in Indiana, USA. "This drum is alive. Just like all things, it is one of a kind. It is unique in sound and craftsmanship. It will last for many generations if treated with care."  -Wayne Ma
