Choose Your Design

Select your favorite design from the available options: Moonlit Desert, Happy Blooms, Spirit Turtle, Desert Mustang, Painted Mustang, Sacred Buffalo, Bear Paw Trail, or Desert Sun.

Because every design is painted by hand, small differences in color, linework, positioning, drumhead texture, and finishing are part of the character of each piece.

How to Play

Place the wooden handle between your palms and roll it gently back and forth. As the drum turns, the two beads alternate between the drumheads to create a rhythmic tapping sound.

Please Note the Size

This is a small handheld drum. Please review the 3-inch diameter and 8.5-inch total length before ordering. Multiple drums may appear in photographs to show the available artwork; each order includes one drum.

Keep the drum dry and away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners on the painted drumhead.
