Just as there are many cultural areas of native Americans there are many native types of drum, from hollowed or entire logs to hand drums and huge dance drums.
For a small hand drum you will need a thin, flexible but strong sheet of wood about 4 inches (10 cms) wide and long enough to make a circle 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 cms) across with a few inches of overlap. A strip of rawhide passed through holes in the ends will hold this securely in shape.
Now you need a disk of dry rawhide or parchment (nottanned leather) slightly larger (about two or three inches larger) than the wooden frame. Punch holes all around the edge of this disk, about two inches apart and half an inch in from the edge. Next, soak the rawhide in cold water for 12 hours so it expands and becomes floppy; using a rawhide strip about a quarter inch wide, lace the disk onto the frame, crossing the laces on the back of the drum. Keep a slight tension on the lacing strip, but not too tight, or the holes will tear out as the disk dries.
Keep the drum somewhere cool and airy to dry very slowly; if the holes start to tear loosen the lacing slightly.
When completely dry the drum will be finished. A beater is made of a short, straight stick that can be decorated and padded at the end. You hold the laces on the back of the drum, where they cross.

What are Indian drums called?
The tabla and banja, collectively known as the tabla (confusing, I know), are standard percussion instruments in any Indian ensemble. The smaller drum, the tabla, is made of a hollow tube of teak or rosewood, covered at one end by goat leather and tightened using a series of goat leather straps and wooden dowels. The larger drum, the banja, is made of beaten brass or copper with a goat leather head and straps (but no dowels). Instead of tubular, it is bowl-shaped. Both have the unique feature of a syahi, a small lump of molten rubber and iron filings placed on the drumskin and left to cool (cheaper models often have a synthetic substitute). This provides a clear and ringing tone when struck, loud enough to be heard over the rest of the orchestra.
