We will guide you through the
process of making your drum, which will cost at least
two separated days.
Due to the drying time of the skin, a good handcrafted
drum with a suitable beater, one can not make in one
weekend...
Preceding to the first meeting
comes all the preparation...
sanding your drumframe
and oil it.
You can do this at our place or at home.
The frame itself will be constructed already.
Fleshing the skin
is an additional option and will be
done at our place.
The first meeting you are going to
put your drum together:
The marriage between skin and drumframe:
it's the birthday of your personal drum!
The second meeting you
will be making your beater and the finishing touch to your drum.
Cost: depending
on the chosen skin and wood:
175 - 240 GBP for a singleheaded hand drum,
a doubleheaded shaman drum starts at
210 GBP
Whishing to make your
shaman drum? Please consider what seems important to
you...:
For some it is just the sound, for others it is the
bond with a specific tree or animal...
What shape and size feels appropriate to you?
Is it important that you can regulate the drumhead's
tension or do you rather like to work with the
elements to keep your drum's voice alive?
Please
look under shaman drums for all your possibilities and
detailed information.
