Handcrafted Taos Drums
Sharing the Spirit of the Drums since 1951
People all over the world have listened to the heart beat of the drum. Perhaps no other people have attached a greater significance to the Spirit of the Drum than the Native American. The drum has played an inherent role in the lives of North America for centuries. Prior to battle, they would beat the drum with strength and solidarity. They expressed their deep emotional and spiritual awareness through ceremonial dances accompanied by the pulsating drum. The Native American art of drum making in the Pueblos is an age old tradition. Drum frames are made of cottonwood, aspen, or pine. Drum rawhides are made from cow, deer, elk, or goat hides. Each drum has its own distinctive voice. Over the years, Taos drums has gained international recognition as the caretakers of the original Taos drum. Their pledge to you is that since no two trees are alike that your drum is a singular work of art, created by Native American craftspeople from one-of-a-kind natural materials. Size, color, and painted designs may vary. Taos Drums takes great pride in their work and craftsmanship. Crabapple Hills Farm loves to see these drums as end tables and coffee tables, accompanied by their beautiful drum and rawhide lamps. A must for every Western or Native American collector.
Have respect for the drum. This drum knows your thoughts and feelings. It can make you dance, make you happy and make you cry.
