Gathering/Constucting a drum

hutsibah · 03-10-2003, 11:04 PM

I am writing an essay for an English class, on musical intruments of the Americas, and need a list of materials and just the basics of constructing a drum. Please email your experience to hutsibahs_dance@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Paulette

I guess that depends on what kind of drum you're making. I guess I was just thinking "hand drum" when I posted that.

I have built both hand and pow-wow drum so wood and rawhide is what was used and strips of hide was used to lace them up. We also did some carving on the pow-wow drum and made an awesome looking drum--but we don't sound good anyways LOL.

We added some things into it when finished the pow-wow drum!
he wood was cedar for the pw drum.

just kill ya an animal and stretch it over a round thingy and bang on it...

Well, I will say that I was pretty surprised at the lack of response as far as the handling of the animal that gives its life in order for that drum to be made..

Maybe its something that is taken for granted...

Too much scolding and not enough laughing going on in some of these threads.
