This is my smallest sized drums which is good for travel or hiking as they do not take up a lot of space and can fit easily in a backpack.
The wood used in the hoop is Canadian Cedar. The cedar tree has been revered throughout history for its spiritual significance. The wood was used for the doors of sacred temples as well as being burned for cleansing ceremonies and for protection. It is said in the Himalayas, the cedar is called “deodar” from the Sanskrit word “devdar,” meaning timber of the gods.
Handcrafting each one of these drums is a labor of love and reflects in the quality of sound and beauty.
Elk: Elk have stamina, Strength, Nobility, Elk teaches us how to pace ourselves.
Making the drums red:
I dye all of my drums using a combination of beet and pomegranate juice that I extract, and then I add a secret recipe of several different herbs and natural pigments and allow the skins to sit so that they soak up as much color as possible. It is said that Pomegranate and beet juices were among the first plant dyes used in ancient times.
*Each drum is handcrafted to order, comes with a drum stick, and will take 1-3 days to be crafted and shipped out.*
