Hand Drums

We make our Native American hand drums old school, with steamed white ash frames which we make from scratch. They are almost round (98%), and made with wild deer, moose, buffalo and elk hides.  These are very close to what a drum would look like from 500 years ago.
Our drums are available in a natural tan colour or dyed either walnut or a range of colours upon request.

EVERY HAND DRUM INCLUDES A DRUM STICK!!

    Black Bear Drums

    75$ Canadian – 400$ Canadian
    Black Bear drums are my absolute favourite drums to both pull and to play.  They are medicine drums that do amazing work and are very powerful.  Bear skin is differnt than other hides.  They are very patterned and dramatic.   These bear are legally harvested for food as part of the Quebec spring bear hunt.  Over the years we have developed an extensive network of butchers and each year get a few dozen hides.  This week I dove into these hides are pulled a bunch of wonderful drums.  Enjoy.

  • Leather drum ‘blankie’

    30$ Canadian

    The very best way to care for your drum long term is 1) bear grease treatment twice a year AND 2) keep your drum covered in leather all the time!!  We make beautiful moose leather drum bags but they can be outside the budget sometimes. So for a budget solution our split leather is perfect.  We select 7 to 9 sq ft pieces and this is plenty to wrap your drum with.  It can then live inside a canvas or plastic bag…..but the leather will protect your drum.
