tabledrum, powwow

The table drum is an ancient ritual drum. It is played standing up and can be played by several drummers at the same time. It is used in powwows and other communal rituals.

The shaman drum is built in the style of Ton-in-Ton frame drums. It consists of a solid wooden frame covered with natural goatskin. The drum surface is shaved, while the hair remains on the edge of the drum. A tensioning system is embedded in the frame using screws. The screws are fitted with large wooden toggles so that the drum can be tensioned without tools, even when it is hanging in the frame.

The table frame is made of apple tree wood, giving it a rustic, natural look. The frame can be dismantled for transport.

Diameter of the drum: 68 cm

Height of the table frame: approx. 80 cm
