From Wikipedia
The qilaut (Inuit language: "that by means of which the spirits are called up", syllabic: ᕿᓚᐅᑦ), (Inuinnaqtun: qilaun or qilauti or Greenlandic: qilaat ) is a type of frame drum native to the Inuit cultures of the Arctic.
The drum, used in Inuit music, is distinctive in that it has a handle and is made of caribou skin, which is not particularly resonant, giving it a dull, rumbling sound.
