Ceremonial Drums: The Beauty Of Native Art

Anyone who has had the opportunity to witness the Tarahumara Indians during holy week or Semana Santa as it is called, has seen the beauty and been touched by the sound of their ceremonial drums. Used as a call to the people during Semana Santa, you can hear the deep resonating sounds of these drums for miles around.

The beauty of these drums is that they are made by hand. Rawhide is first stretched over a piece of rounded yellow pine and then decorated by the owner with paint made of iron oxide. Because these drums are made by hand, each one has unique characteristics and beauty unlike any other.

Owning a ceremonial drum lets you be a part of Native Indian culture and traditions and bring them to life in your home. Whether put on display in your home or office, or to be used as an instrument in drumming groups or ceremonies, you will love owning an authentic Tarahumara ceremonial drums.
