If you are interested in making your own drum and attend a drum making workshop, contact Te Maari and Tamati Ngata-Gardiner at Papaaio (Ruapehu District) for dates and further information.

Hand drums

 

We also make unique hand drums, that can be played with a beater, tipper or just by hand.  The bigger the drum, the deeper its tone.

 

The sturdy hoops are made of laminated pine; the rawhide coverings and string bindings are from locally sourced deer skins (red, fallow or sika). Handles are made out of deer antler or wood.

 

Drum sizes are 390 mm ($160) or 300 mm ($140).

 

We can custom make a braintanned carry bag if needed.  

 

Please contact us, to let us know what your requirements are.
