16" Recycled Cedar Sweat Lodge Drum

This is a traditional double headed Native drum.  Lodge drums are approximately 5" in depth. Because this drum has two rawhides, it is the preferred type for sweat lodges, but the two hides raise the cost as well. 

We use thick steer rawhide for the heads and laces. We do not use bleached hides because bleaching weakens rawhide.  Note the beautiful golden brown color of our hides. 

We have tested these drums.  Friends and customers have tested the lodge drums.  The results: our native sweat lodge drums still sing after 28 stones.  

We took one of our lodge drum into the lodge and went through all four rounds with many songs still in her.
