Water Drum and Beater

This Water Drum and Beater will make a perfect addition to your collection. The crafter built it from a premade wood base reinforced with metal straps and painted the base a deep red. The crafter added a piece of smoke-tanned deerskin leather and wrapped the top rim in fabric. It includes a removable, unpainted stopper. The drum stands about 4 inches tall with a 7.25-inch diameter base. This Water Drum and Beater embody both tradition and artistry.

One of a Kind!

Water Drums consist of a hollow chamber that users fill with water to create a unique sound. Native Americans from North and South America use Water Drums in their ceremonies and social gatherings. Sometimes musicians make them from clay or old crockery in addition to hollowed out wood. Water drums typically have a hole in their side for adding or letting out water once the cover is on, which is then plugged with a stopper.
