Wishing to make your own shamandrum?
It may not be an easy job, but it will be really satisfying...

The more energy and time you spend
 on birthing your drum in a dedicated way,
   the easier and more natural a true bond grows
be
tween you and your drum.
Your shamandrum becomes like it were part of you already.


COURSES & INDIVIDUAL

 The courses are being given to small groups with a maximum of three persons. You can take part into a scheduled workshop or maybe arrange one yourself with some friends.
  When you wish to come on an individual base or when there is no course scheduled at the time, feel free to contact us and we will make a plan together.
 

 What will you be doing?

We will guide you through the process of making your drum, which will take a minimum of two separated days.
Due to the dryingtime 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 rub it with oil.
This you can do 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 drumstick and put the finishing touch to your drum.


 

Cost: depending on the choosen skin and wood:
 
190 - 250 €  for a singleheaded shamansdrum,
  a twoheaded shamandrum starts at 240 €  .

Whishing to make your shamansdrum? 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?
