Drum-making is a very esthetic, joyful and spiritually
uplifting experience. It creates a unique connection with you, your
drum and the Earth Mother. Moreover, the satisfaction of using
your own handmade drum at a drumming circle
is supreme.
All drum kits include the parts for a drum
beater. Also
VISA, Mastercard and Discover Cards are accepted. Just click on
the drum image, below, to go to our shopping cart to select your
desired options.
Drum making workshops are being held in
Denver, Colorado. The workshop covers three main areas. First, there
is a preparatory ceremony creating sacred circle.
The steps in the handcrafting the drum are
illustrated by the images to the right. In the top image, the drum
frame is being sanded so that they are smooth and can accept the
hide to be stretched over it.
The next image shows the holes being punched
in the hide for the lacing that will be stretched tighly over the
drum frame.
The third picture shows the lacing of the
drums that will stretch the hide evenly around the drum frame.
After the drum is completed, the next image
shows the drum blessing being performed and, finally, the finished
product. The satisfaction of a hand-made drum is hard to beat!
