My pick would have to be Zotigh Singers, Yellowhammer, Southern Thunder and Omaha Whitetail. Maybe your pick is different. Who do you think has the best songs?

the drums who I think have kicked out some jammin fancy dance songs in the past are Grey Horse, Cozad, and Rose Hill.It is so sad that a family can torn apart by something as simple as a wild pack of dogs.Comment

Definitely Zotigh and Grey Horse.
Both have a wide variety of "unique" men's fancy dance songs.
Both were among the earliest southern drum groups to bring southern style powwow music to the Canadian plains.
Both groups have at least 10 songs that belong to their drum groups, that are their own compositions.
The best part is . . .
They both drum to a beat that let the fancy dancers show their stuff!
Grey Horse does not set up that often anymore, unfortunately.Powwows will continue to evolve in many directions. It is inevitable.Comment

A lot of southern drum hop n skip around because of their knowledge of the basic intertribal, flag song ect and boast about being a southern drum, that can handle being a host. What specifications REALLY qualify you, to be a fully prepared, good, quality host drum? I'd say more then the basic knowledge...02-22-2008, 03:41 AM -
I couldnt think of a good title, but i figured that one would get you interested.
What do you think about drums who show up for contest or split money when they arent really that great?

My sons and I are great fans of the Cree style of hand drumming that has swept the powwow circuit throughout North America.
But I am wondering what everyone's take is on Ojibway hand drum songs?
In our group, there are some who feel that Ojibways should sing side step songs on hand drums...02-25-2002, 03:10 PM -
How often are you called upon sing a northern style song?
How often do you this happen?
When this happens, do southern groups have their own songs or do they pull something from the "Top 40"?06-19-2006, 07:52 PM
