We do not make "Native American" style drums ......
We take our inspiration from
Northern European shamanic cultures

Let us explain a little bit why ....
Firstly, Native American drums use rawhide lacing to tension the drum,
whilst that's fine in the hot weather ...

Over here in Europe the damp climate plays havoc with these drums, not only does the skin on the drum head get damp but so does the lacing too resulting in a drum
that you can not play for long outside..
Secondly, its not our culture.
We have our own traditions and styles of drums....
From the Irish Bodhran to the Sami shamanic drums....
Finally, there are lots of folk making
Native American style drums.
So we would rather leave them to it ...
With the drums we make we try to add a modern twist to traditional shamanic drum making, blending a high level of attention to detail with an element of artistic expression
and we hope this inspires others drum makers ...
