The Distinct Sounds of Rawhide Drums
One of the most fascinating aspects of Native American drums is how the sound varies depending on the type of rawhide used. In the video below, we demonstrate the different tones produced by our hand drums. Here’s a breakdown of what makes each species unique:
- Deer Rawhide Drums: These drums offer a resonating tone with a gentle bass quality, making them perfect for creating calming rhythms.
- Elk Rawhide Drums: Known for their balanced tones, elk drums produce a sound similar to deer but slightly higher in pitch.
- Bison Rawhide Drums: If you prefer a short, bass-heavy tone, bison rawhide drums deliver a powerful and grounding rhythm.
- Steer Rawhide Drums: These drums have a higher-pitched sound, ideal for sharp, clear beats that stand out.
- Horse Rawhide Drums: Loud and commanding, horse drums are designed to be heard, making them a great choice for ceremonies or performances.
