Hello
art that keeps giving back
We have been making high quality hand-drums for over 20 years. This process has given us the gift of so much joy and satisfaction -
We want to share this feeling with others.
how it works...
We begin with a high quality drum shell made in our workshop. We work together with students through each step until everyone has completed a personally inspired drum of their very own.
Students start by sanding and painting their drum with a base coat in preparation for the heading process.
Splatter Paint, Sponge Paint, Finger Paint if you want! Tie-dye a real goat skin drum head and attach it using traditional methods.
This YOUR artistic creation and however you choose to make it is perfect! This is where each drum truly comes to life. As the artist put more, and more of themselves into their drum - it becomes a vivid reflection of what they are feeling in the moment.
Perform on the drum you just made!
We try to include a performance for our drum makers so they can show off their new creations! There is a certain magic when you play a musical instrument created entirely by YOU! This drum will continue to sound great and bring smiles for many, many years!
