Plenty of good ones, but the following have been together for awhile and seem to stand out more than others: Rocky Park, Thunderhouse, Shadow Prey, Red Horse, and Eagle Creek. Callin Eagle is a young and up-coming group to look out for.

Yeah, those boyz used to jam years ago (remember them at Salt River when Redbull and Blacklodge were there like in '89).

Others that used to crank out tunes were White Ridge and the original Dine Nation. Sun Eagle is back on the trail (took first place at ASU a couple of years ago) and Southern Outlawzz is hitting it big time as well. Forgot about Atsa Butte, those boyz can jam with their cool sounding drum!

Yep Yep! Its been along time since I've seen my bro Mike Pete... Hope all is well. Salt River always had some big name drums. It use to be cool when they had it at the ole ball field with the grass and all...

I'll say, WhiteRidge ,Shadow Prey and Iron Water, they were the ones that got us in the game. Thanks guys, for your songs and encouragements, without you, we would've never made it this far. Aho.

Atsa Butte of course!!

White Eagle and Sun Eagle were the first few Navajo drum groups that composed songs with Navajo lyrics. Today, many Navajo groups are coming up with beautiful songs for veterans, elders, children and dancers of all persuasions. Rocky Park has a bunch of songs for veterans that are so unique. A lot of that is attributed to the fact that many of the singers are themselves veterans or have relatives and friends who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It takes a combat veteran to know the hardships that one goes through to be a soldier in a conflict area and in direct combat zones.

I always liked Rocky Park.
