Native American Handcrafted Buffalo Hide Sweat Lodge Drum & Beater

This authentic Native American handmade drum is crafted using thick, durable buffalo rawhide, making it an exceptional piece for both ceremonial use and collectible display. This double-sided sweat lodge drum is built to withstand humidity and provide deep, resonant tones for traditional drumming.

Authenticity & Craftsmanship

• Handcrafted from natural buffalo hide for both the drum-head and lacing.
• Double-sided design ensures durability and resistance to humidity, making it ideal for sweat lodge ceremonies and drum circles.
• Frame made from sturdy maple wood, measuring approximately 14 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep (size may vary slightly).
• Drum beater included, with an attachment point on the drum for easy storage.

Superior Sound & Traditional Use

This drum is guaranteed to hold its tone in sweat lodge conditions, providing a steady rhythm for ceremonial songs. The thick buffalo hide produces a slightly higher tone, making it perfect for keeping the correct beat in traditional gatherings.

Handmade & One of a Kind

Each drum is individually crafted, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. Natural variations in the hide and craftsmanship reflect the traditional methods used by Native American artisans for centuries.

Effects of Weather & Humidity

Handmade rawhide drums are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes. In humid conditions, the drum may loosen and sound lower, while dry conditions will keep it tight. To maintain optimal sound:

• Keep the drum covered with a blanket when not in use.
• Expose it to sunlight or a gentle heat source if it becomes too loose.
• Some tribes, like the Osage, assign "Drum Warmers" during ceremonies to ensure proper tone.

Production Time

As each drum is handmade to order, please allow 5-10 days for production before shipping.
