Hand Drum Kits For Native Drum Making Workshops

We make great hand drums and have learned over the years how to avoid many of the problems common to new drum makers...We have put togeather the perfect kit for someone wanting to lead a Hand Drum Making Workshop.  We make an old style hand steamed and bent white ash frame, cut the deer hide to proper size, punch the holes in a good way so they don't tear out during pullig or the drying process, and cut the lacing to the right thickness, enough to pull the drum and make the handle.  Our 14-15" Drum Kits are $85 each...plesae email for info or feel free to give us a call.  If you are new to leading a workshop we will give you all the tips you need, including a video to run a successful gathering.

NEW FOR 2013:

Buffalo Hand drums!!!

We have been making Buffalo Hand Drums for years but have not offered them on our web site because we have troubles securing a reliable supply of Buffalo Rawhide....We fixed that problem and we are now offering 17"" Natural Buffalo Drums ($250)  See our Hand Drum Page

Moose And Deer Raw Hide And Leather

Each year during hunting season we gather hides from hunters who are eating the meat but throwing the hides in the garbage....We decided this year to increase our collection.  SO as of now we are offering Deer and Moose Raw Hide as well as a bunch of different colours of moose and deer leather. See our Leather Page.

Each year Tribal Spirit provides these one of a kind drums to Gathering of Nations Powwow.  They are awarded to the winners of the  Northern and Southern Powwow Singing Contest. Over the year some of the most amazing Drum Groups in Indian Country have won these unique awards

Moose Rawhide for Powwow Drums!!!  Where we live hunters ALWAYS quarter the moose in order to get them out of the bush....So for a big drum you will need 2 quarters (one for each side) and one more for lacing.  So Raw Hide of one powwow drum  (3 pieces) are $250.  Please measure the diameter of your drum and I will ensure that the quarters I select fit your drum.  (Max size 28" diameter, sorry our quarters don't come any bigger)    This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
