Keith Little Badger builds all of his powwow drums from river recovered cedar. No trees had to die. Why kill a new tree when you can use recycled lumber? Keith does not use old band drum hulls or plywood. He builds vertical stave powwow drums. Each drum comes to life in a good way, without damage to Mother Earth. Each cedar powwow drum is a work of art. The red of the cedar stands for the blood of the people.
Rich Gold Color
Top Grain Bull Hides
We now head all of our powwow drum with top grain 5mm thick bull hides. These hides are as thick as buffalo hides. With so many professional powwow teams playing Little Badger drums, we decided it was time to upgrade from cow rawhide.
Our tannery rawhides organically. They do not use any poisonous chemicals or bleach to create their rawhide. These hides are a beautiful, rich golden brown color. Tough as buffalo, bull hides will last a life time. We are opposed to using buffalo because these magnificent animals were once hunted nearly to extinction. We have finally found the perfect alternative to killing buffalo - tough, beautiful bull hides that were cured in a way that does not harm our environment! If you still want buffalo hides, check out these web sites:
Keith is now building all large powwow drums 14 inches high to create a deeper sound. We provide a furniture grade very sturdy Red Oak Stand with each powwow drum. Stands collapse into two flat pieces for easy transportation. He builds stand high so you don't have to bend over for three days at a powwow. If you want a lower stand, just cut the legs to your own size! When you compare drum prices, be sure to ask if the stand is included.We provide a FREE Swing Stand or Elevated Floor Stand and FREE drum stick with every Powwow Drum.
We continually monitor the prices of our competitors and try to offer the best value to our customers. We consider the materials used by our competitors (plywood vs. cedar), their construction methods (one piece hull vs. our 60+ vertical stave drums), reputation of drum maker (commercial Caucasian company vs. tradition family craftsman), and the extras offered (free beaters, stand). We shop our cedar and our rawhide to find the best quality and price. Given our research, we always provide you with the lowest price for the highest quality authentic Native American powwow drum.

All powwow drums are custom order. We have a waiting list, so please call to add your name to our list. We guarantee delivery of powwow drums 4-6 weeks from order date, but typically ship your drum sooner than that. We have to allow time for drying of rawhide and unforeseen emergencies.
We require 50% non-refundable deposit, which is applied to the cost of your order upon delivery. Shipping prices should be considered when buying a powwow drum. Shipping costs vary by your location and size of drum, but usually range between $50 (20" drum) and $300 (36" drum sent freight). If you provide us with a zip code, we can give you an accurate estimate of shipping costs.
REMEMBER, THE STAND IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE DRUM. WE DO NOT CHARGE $200 EXTRA FOR A STAND LIKE OTHER DRUM COMPANIES.
