I've seen girls singing around the drum. Some groups use girls because they have louder voices sometimes. So I'm guessing its okay for a female to be around the drum.

It all depends on the tribe, like there are some where the women are allowed to sing at the drum and play the drum and others where the women are only supposed to sing in the back.

It all depends, so just ask the elders of your tribe(s) what is appropriate. That's what I would suggest. There was a different thread where they were discussing this, let me find it and I'll get back to you, maybe it could answer your question better than I have.If you allow the world to change you, only then can you change the world....

Ok... I know this thread probably belongs in another area but I thought there might be some drum makers/ singers who could give me some advice. Our drum groups drum has tightened up with the warming weather to a point where it sounds " tingy" ( dunno if thats a word) We prefer a deeper sound....04-28-2009, 12:17 PM -
I was thinking the other day about women singing. We all know that alot of people are against it because of how powerful women are. And the variouse other traditions people have. Anyway, I like listening to women sing back up. I like how they sound.

It has been said on here that the old guys arent teaching the youg guys the proper etiquette at the drum. What do you all think about this? What are some of the un-written rules of conduct at the drum?02-27-2003, 01:09 AM

As Natives, we pay great respect to the drum. In my tribe, I was taught to respect the drum, "take care of it and it will take care of you." Following this advice, the drum has taken me to many different lands in North America and throughout the world.
