I am going to be part of a Guedra dance performance in August. In reading about Guedra, I see that the traditional "drum" is a cooking pot with a skin attached for a drum head. So far I have not seen anything like this online. I was just curious if such a thing is sold anywhere, or will I have to make do with one of my existing drums. Thanks for your help.

The clay pot with a the bottom broken out of it. The first drum that wasn't a hollow log. HAHAHA! Probably first played by a small child with a stick.
