Cochiti Pueblo Drum

Handcrafted drum by Ray Gallegos from Cochiti Pueblo. The drums are made from one of three types of wood: cottonwood, pine or aspen. Rawhide is the other material used; it is soaked in water until it can be stretched over the hollowed trunks and it is it used to tie the bottom and top piece together. Each drum comes with a handmade drumstick. While the item you purchase will be very similar in style, there may be some variation in color, design and/or artist.
