Hand Drum Hoops

Price range: 24.20 $USD through 56.48 $USD

Our drums are VERY unusual in that we make our own hoops.  These days most (virtually ALL) drum makers are using plywood maple frames made overseas or mitred multi pieced wood frames that are 8 to 12 sided.

We order white ash lumber in large dimension, and then cut it into lats of different sizes (for different hoops) and steam and bend by hand.  We glue the connection with a water proof glue and then sand/router all edges. Our hoops are 98% round.  Ash is a very strong wood so our hoops will not move or bend over time no matter what kind of hide is pulled over them.

Product Description

Our drums are VERY unusual in that we make our own hoops.  These days most (virtually ALL) drum makers are using plywood maple frames made overseas or mitred multi pieced wood frames that are 8 to 12 sided.  My understanding is that a hand drum made 500+ years ago would have looked very much like ours (ok maybe not dyed. lol) but someone would have gone out, cut down a tree, split it and then bent it approximately round.

We order white ash lumber in large dimension, and then cut it into lots of different sizes (for different hoops) and steam and bend it by hand.  We glue the connection with a water proof glue and then sand/router all edges. Our hoops are 98% round.  Ash is a very strong wood so our hoops will not move or bend over time no matter what kind of hide is pulled over them.

I buy all the hide and fur I use for making moccasins from Tribal Spirit. The quality is amazing, and the variety is much appreciated. I also really love the traditional medicines they have available. There is often a kind note in the delivery - handwritten telling you that they sent a little extra. 🥺 As a customer, I feel a connection with this store - from the descriptions they create to describe a colour of hide, to the small batch herbal remedies, to the very fast response and kind you’ll receive if you have a question. 10 stars.

I only order my mitt and mocc leather from tribal Spirit. The owners are phenomenal and very invested and proud. I have been ordering from them every year for about 6 years and there has never been an issue they couldn't fix. I recommend to all my students to purchase from this amazing Canadian, indigenous company. Thank you again for being the amazing suppliers that you are!

I'm a first time beader making my first pair of plains style moccasins, and looked for a reputable brand with good prices for quality leather. Tribal Spirit did not disappoint! I ordered deer leather, and am very satisfied with the skin's quality. So soft you can see my hand print! Ahéhee' Tribal Spirit!
