Drum Sticks: Handmade by Mi'Kmaq Michael R. Denny
Drum Sticks
Powwow Drums are always played with sticks and traditionally these sticks were made out of wood. Modern powwow drumsticks are now made with a thin fiberglass rod. The fiberglass flexes with each beat, reducing arm fatigue and allowing the player to drum and sing for hours. They have double-sided heads of hand-sewn leather, on a pinstriped/decorated stick.
