The drum plays an enormous role in our Native American culture. It is an important symbol of our people. Drums have been used for thousands of years in every country for ceremonial rituals, healing, meditation, dancing, chanting, and singing.
According to Indian tradition, a drum is much more than rawhide or wood - it is a living being, a precious member of ones family, a tool for connecting to our spirits.
You will get everything you will need to complete your very own drum, made by your own hands. Each drum becomes an extension of the drummer through use, love, pulsation, and even the oil from the hands that is absorbed. The drum moves our spirit by its calming resonance. The beat is in harmony with the earth’s natural frequency. Native Americans often believe their drum is like a living member of their family. It is understandable why many Native Americans do not permit any person to use their personal drum.
The drum is not just one instrument, but many instruments combined. Some people think the echo is created in the body of the drum. However, it is actually created by the drum membrane and its vibration. Each drum is unique, having a sound with its own unique tone, communicating its existence in an individual way.
The drummer can achieve a lasting variety of sounds and special effects. We know a drum can actually resonate in numerous diverse vibration patterns, each with a distinct sound. The drum vibrations are various beautiful, echoing, patterns of movement, much like waves in water.
Each of our drum frames are individually hand crafted. Only the finest skins (rawhide) are chosen to get the deepest, richest tone. One reason our drums are so spectacular is because we slow dry them in a cool place to assure long-term quality for use in an assortment of weather conditions.
Once you have tried one of our drums, you will be a devoted user. No others will do!
