Celebrate the Solstice by creating your very own frame drum, a sacred instrument with a rich history spanning cultures and continents. Choose from the following options:
14-inch deer hide drum with drumstick
14-inch elk hide drum
14-inch buffalo hide drum
For advanced drum builders, we also offer 16-inch versions of these drums—perfect as a unique holiday gift!
The frame drum is one of the oldest instruments in human history, found in art and artifacts across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. It has been used by Jewish, Arab, Celtic, and indigenous North and South American communities for ceremonies, storytelling, and connection to the divine. In this workshop, we teach a non-culturally specific, ceremonial approach to drum-building, honoring the sacredness of the process without appropriating any specific tradition.
