Small drum. Sides constructed from tin-like metal formed into a low cylinder, covered with brown paper. Both ends of the cylinder are covered with stretched skin that is fastened with strips of sinew sewn through the edges, that then criss-cross around the cylinder. The drum's top surface has two threads in pink and blue across it, tied around small pieces of wood, and fastened to sinew on either side.

Round drum, double-faced, with drumming surface on both sides. Midsection flares out and is covered in a dark red velvet, with an encircling line of metal rivets on both sides of the fabric holding the skin tightly in place. Skin has been painted black. A metal noisemaker inside the instrument serves as a rattle.

Rattle drum with beater. Drum is constructed of a wooden core with a long thin centre that widens on both ends, where they are covered with stretched skin. The drum skins are attached to a rounded wooden rim by thick thread. Dozens of twisted strands of hide stretch between the two rims, partially hiding the wooden core. A leather strap is tied to a strand on one side, and a woven rope is attached to one rim by a thong of hide on the side opposite. Inside the wooden core are small dark brown seeds that create a rattling sound when the drum is moved. Part b is a beater carved from a single piece of wood, with a handle that narrows as it reaches a bend at top that culminates in a cone shape that is used to hit the drum.

Drum and drumstick. Round drum (part a) is made of skin stretched over a circular wood frame and nailed to secure along the frame’s bottom edge. On the underside, thin strips of hide are connected in 4 places to the frame and come together in the centre, tightly wrapped around themselves, to join at a small wood handle. The face of the drum shows a painted lightning-snake design, with a large centrally placed head showing bared teeth and curling hair in red and blue, the long thin body wrapping around the outside edge of the drum top. Part b is the drum stick, consisting of a long wooden shaft, rounded, and a leather covered head attached by a leather strip wound around the stick's neck.

Painted drum made of stiffened skin stretched over a round frame of wooden slats, attached together with adhesive. Skin wraps around frame edges to the back, where thin strips of sinew are attached through holes to draw the material tight. These are lashed together with leather thongs at centre, making a handle. The face of the drum is painted red and black, with four salmon heads emerging from the sides, surrounding a series of concentric cirlces at mid-point with interspersed crescents and traingles .
