The construction/design of the frame drum is probably the oldest way . On ancient reliefs and mural paintings are mostly women, playing this orginal instrument with the hand - like a tambourine. The invent of the frame drum was probably create in the hands of a leather tanner. The principle - leather/rawhide on a rame or ring, as rhythm or shamanic tool was all over the archic world. And has not lost any fascination up to this day.
