Drum Brothers Frame Drums are based on traditional Plains Indian hand drum designs. These drums are uniquely constructed with a one piece western cedar frame and a deer hide head and lashing. A leather or fleece headed beater and care instructions are included with each drum.

Our most popular size is the 18" diameter drum; it's easy to handle and has a wide ranging resonant tone. When considering what size you'd like to get, remember that the wider the diameter, the deeper the bass tone. Many singers and Shamanic journeyers actually prefer the smaller diameter drums because of their penetrating mid-ranged tone. We also make pine frames and octagonal drums.
Ordering: Our frame drums don't stay in stock for very long, so it's likely that the drum you order will be custom made for you. So 
give us a week to complete your drum. Because of the uniqueness of each piece of wood we use and our steam-bending process, the diameter of drums may vary by 1/2". We love hearing from our customers, so feel free to add comments to your order. You can also drop us an email here: sales@drumbrothers.com.
About Frame Drums: Found around the globe in its many incarnations - as the tar of the Middle East, the bodhran of Ireland, the medicine drum of the Laplanders, or the hand drum or hoop drum of the North American Plains Indians - the frame drum has a penetrating resonant sound that enlivens the human spirit. Egyptian stone relief carvings of women playing frame drums have been dated to 1400 BC. This versatile drum may be played with the hands or fingers, struck with a beater, resonated with the voice, or even rubbed to create whale-like sounds.
