18 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Books It had been there awhile

It had been there awhile and was clean and bleached white from the sun

We were quite a ways down the dirt road from them and we could still hear them in the morning

18 inch Elk Frame Drum - with Mallet Books It had been there awhileThis beautiful handmade elk drum was built from scratch with materials locally sourced from a native drum supply shop in Washington State. The drum comes with a leather wrapped handle. A mallet is included but may not be the exact one in the photo. This is my favorite animal hide to work with. These frame drums are deceptively simple. Their versatility makes them great for shamanic journeys, ceremonies, sound healing and of course, just playing music.
