Product Description: Sunreed's Traditional Native American frame drums are handmade by a First Nations North West Native American shamanic drum maker. He apprenticed with a Lakota maker, and his shaman drum styles are in the Lakota/Plains style of traditional hoop or frame drums. He handcrafts beautiful, shamanic/medicine drums which will withstand the rigors of long and intentional use! The drums are strong and durable. They are laced very tight which allows them to be played in a greater range of environmental conditions. The full wrap gives a beauty and helps with the tightness of the drum and durability of it. For instance these drums will last longer in humid conditions than many other drums that we have played.
Each drum is made in the traditional way in ceremony and with prayer, with an understanding and respect for the animals and wildlife and wood from which they come. Making things in a medicine way strengthens the quality and integrity of the drum, and potential of the drum when you are working in relationship with it. This allows you to speak more directly to the wisdom world from which these medicines arise.
We are offering 12 inch drums for use by children, hand painted by our drum artist Dorothy Stone.
Each drum comes with a simple Native American fringed beater, small for small hands.
