Drums are often created at a sacred point in the year - see info for each indvidual drum.
Eurpoean deer and English goat are used for the skins with the frames being ash, willow or oak.
The handle is created using a unique (to the uk, as far as I know!) willow 'heart'. This is woven to bring in the elements of the Four Directions. Hemp rope then holds the drum firmly together to create a deep resonant sound.
Willow brings the following qualities:
Balance, learning, growth, harmony, connection to the moon and water, psychic abilities, the goddess and all that is feminine.
Willow channels earth energy and is used as the frame for traditional Native American sweat lodges because it contains salicin which is converted to salicylic acid in the body, which we now get from aspirin.
The willow heart/handle on your drum has been woven from 4 pieces, bringing in the energy of the Four Directions with each piece.Â
With this style of handle you don't need to grip it tightly, it will gently sit in the palm of your hand with the last knuckle of your fingers lightly curled around it.... or if you wish, I can add a cross of rope in the centre, or add a crytal pi-stone to give you more holding options - please ask for this to be included.
Recordings of each drum are availabe - just click through to 'Meet your Drum'.

Handcrafted by Dawn Petherick
Every drum is individually created in my workshop in Argyll, Scotland, using ethically sourced deer hide and carefully selected ash, oak or willow. I never make two identical drums because I believe every drum has its own unique voice and is waiting to find the person it is meant to journey with.
