Sister Drum (阿姐鼓) is the second studio album by Chinese singer Dadawa (music by He Xuntian), which is heavily influenced by the music of Tibet. The album is notable for being the 1st Asian CD to ship over 1 million copies in China.
In traditional Tibetan culture, Sister Drum, whose drumhead is made out of a pure girl's skin, was used for honouring the god. This behavior has now been prohibited in modern Tibet. This studio 'Sister Drum' is based on this cruel context. Only the skin of a pure girl could be chosen to make the drumhead. To prevent them from disturbing in the real world, those girls are better mutes. If it is necessary, sometimes their tongues would be cut out.
The use of Tibetan folk music as the basis for some of their recordings has aroused some controversy in the context of China's rule over Tibet. A music video was made for the title track.
