The truly global frame drum
August 31, 2008 on 10:11 am | By admin | In ArtsMy job requires me to travel globally mostly to 3 rd world countries. I usually have time to explore the local markets etc and have found an interesting hobby of collecting frame drums. They are usually quite inespensive and sometimes very beautifiully made.One of the most interesting frame drums that I have acquired on my trips is from China with a very interesting hand made design along the outer ridge of the frame drum. In some ways the frame drums are like a very large tambourine and can be held in your hand as you play it.I think this is a great hobby for some one who wishes to gather a momento of a unique culture as they visit different locations in the far east. The cost is still reasonable and the frame drums look great on a display at ones home or office. The cost of the frame drums is between 15 to 100 dollars.
