THE
DRUM The
drum sets the rhythm of the dance and tempo of the song. There are two
types of drums used at most Powwows. One is a traditional drum, made
by stretching hides over a frame, and lacing the hides together with
leather raw hide thong. The other kind is more common, a regular band
bass drum. Both drums are accorded the highest respect by all tribes
as a most important part of any Powwow. |
