Making your en drum with your own hands is a wonderful way to form a deep understanding and bond with your drum. When we make the drum we travel back to an ancient ritual that is carried out with the deepest respect and gratitude.
 
Included in this package is all the material you will need, including the step-by-step process of building the drum, where I will "hold your hand" along the way. I show you everything from how we wrap the drum skin around the frame, thread the laces, and finally tie a handle in honor of the 4 directions. Together we will walk the road to your new drum, which you can enjoy for many years to come.
 
Included in the package you will receive:
* Drum frame made from Ash
* Drum skin
* Leather or synthetic lacing to tie the drum
* Air hose that allows you to tune the drum
* Stick, wool filling, deerskin and synthetic sinew for the drum stick
* White sage for purification and initiation of the drum

Accompanying videos:
* Instructions for making the drum
