Choosing your Frame Drum
When choosing a drum, the type of drum head will be a factor to consider. You can choose between synthetic or animal skin. Synthetic drum heads are man made while animal skin drum heads are produced from the hides of animals, typically goat, deer and cows. Ethical or spiritual beliefs can play a role when deciding on the drum.
