Qilaut

The qilaut (Inuit: "that by means of which the spirits are called up",[1] syllabic: ᕿᓚᐅᑦ[2]) or qilaat (Greenlandic) 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, giving it a dull, rumbling sound.

It is beaten with a stick, the qatuk.
