Qilaut

The qilaut (Inuit: "that by means of which the spirits are called up", syllabic: ᕿᓚᐅᑦ) is a type of frame drum native to the Inuit cultures of the Arctic.

The drum is distinctive in that it has a handle, and is made of caribou skin, which is not particularly resonant and gives a dull, rumbling sound. It is beaten with a stick, the qatuk.
