Here are descriptions of the kinds of Drums and Rattles I am making.
All the drums I make are one-of-a-kind creations and are designed for use in shamanic journeying, meditation, or general use as musical instrument. I strive for beauty, high resonance, and ease of use,.
My shaman drums are made from the hides of many animals: Elk, Horse, Bear, Buffalo, and Reindeer. I do not use deer or antelope hide because they are too thin and brittle.
Single Headed Shaman Drums: I make these in diameters of 13", 15", 17", 20". They are typically 5/8" to 1/2 " thick and 3" inches wide.
Traveling Drums are like shaman drums, but are used for backpacking, travel, for children, or for any one who particularly wants a small, high pitched drum. They are typically 8" to 10" in diameter and 2" wide.
Medicine Drums are more like rattles than drums and are used specifically for healing work. These are 8" diameter by 2" wide double headed drums which have pebbles, semiprecious stones, crystals, chokecherry seeds, and other items inside. It has many more voices than a regular rattle. In Mexico they are called "Women's Healing Drums."
A hand-made mallet is included with every drum except for a few of the medicine drums.. These are typically made of wild-crafted chokecherry wood or hand-turned with various hard woods, such as maple, walnut, and other exotic woods.
My rattles are made of various types of rawhide, gourds, metal, and any thing else that strikes my fancy and is suitable for a rattle. Inside the rattles are various stone, pebble, crystal, semiprecious stones and other talismanic items. The decoration is designed to enhance the power of the rattle and to serve as a focus for journeying.
These items are designed with particular mystical intent. This is discussed next to each item in the Sales Gallery
