Best Drum Group Names

There are some rather neat names out there. Some are rather ingenious in unsing "word play" and "unique spellings" - something that is done in the music business and even corporate America. But the best have to be those that use a name that reflect the clan, tribe, or cultural area that they are.

Some Outstanding ones in my region are:

1. SouthEastern WaterSpider
2. Iron Necklace
3. Black-Water-Moccassin
4. UnderWater Panther

Edit Note: Groups # 1, 3, and 4 above are all people from the Southeast and members of Southeastern Tribes. At the moment though they live in various areas of the Mid-West.

Where is Stoney Park from? I've never heard of them, I've heard of Stoney Creek, but not SP. Someone please fill me in :)

You have heard of Stoney Creek but not Stony Park? My God, what rock have you been under for the last 20 years or so. Stony Park is from Morley, AB Canada. They have been around longer than most active drum groups today. They won 1st at Schmitzun two years in a row in the early 90's.

But anyway, here are some cool drum names:

Mountain Valley
Running Snake
Stuttering Dog
Dog Not
Wild Eagle

CNG - you should get a recording of Stoney Park. These guys make you wanna dance.



Anyways, those names you listed? Sound good except for Stuttering Dog.

I read of one, I think from Washington state. Grandpa Moses Boys. Cool name.

[Kiwehnzii]

Sorry, I think it's Grampa Noahs Boys. Somebody correct me.

Mountain Soul is a cool name I also like the name
Southern Thunder.

I agree with TomIronEagle. The drum group name should reflect the clan, tribe, or general cultural area of the groups location. I also believe the group name should reflect the drumkeepers personal dream or the vision he received in his life. I also think that the drum name should consider all the singers in the drum group...such as what they all have in common or if they are all are related.

Sorry, I think it's Grampa Noahs Boys. Somebody correct me.

Got it right that time - Grandpa Noah's Boys. I think they live in the Tacoma area. Could be wrong, tho.

I kinda like it when a drum group uses a tribal name, since most groups use an English translation. Two of them I can think of around here are Shiobaha and Sauk Beux'.

Not only is Iron Necklace a great name for a drum, but an awesome drum group. They are a wonderful family also. :Heart

[thundering_bird]

geographic location is important;)

[T. Jude Fox]

Mandan-Hidatsa-Ree (3 Tribes) So I say...

Mandaree has the best name ever.

then Thunderbutte by Mr. Rex Fox's crew in Mandaree.

Oakdale! Smith boy's rock!

Then Eagle Whistles of course.
