The mens ceremonial outfits are different from the womens in that their tapas cloth doesn't wrap all the way around (only covering the fron and back), it is less ornately decorated and the men are the drummers and also wear the huge head dresses made with bird of paradise, and chicken feathers and cassowary beading.
