Native American hoop drums, also known as frame drums, are a type of percussion instrument commonly used in Native American music and ceremonies. They are characterised by a wooden hoop or frame stretched with a drumhead, typically made of animal skin. The hoop drum is a significant part of pow wows and other cultural gatherings, where it is often played with drumsticks or by hand, creating rhythmic beats that accompany songs and dances.
