Our kits include an amazing instruction manual, a rawhide circle with holes punched (large enough to wrap all the way over to the back of the drum), rawhide lacing long enough to pull the drum and weave a handle, one of our steamed white ash hoops, and a drum stick kit. Our kits come with very detailed instructions and a video to help you make your drum. We are confident that anyone can make a hand drum with the assistance of our instructions.
