The cost of the workshop includes everything needed to make a 12”, 14”, 16” or 18” single head rawhide drum and matching beater. This includes a maple hoop, a rawhide round for the drum head, rawhide lacing, and locally sourced driftwood sticks collected 'in a good way' for the beater. The price includes all materials, guided hands-on instruction and support, and a traditional pipe ceremony to bless each drum. Each participant will be making their own single-head, shamanic style drum and matching driftwood beater. 

Size Options:
What size drum would you like to make? The following sizes are available: 12”, 14”, 16”, or 18”. Smaller drums travel well, are perfect for song circles and sweat lodge and will be higher in pitch with more “thud” and less resonance. Larger drums are perfect for shamanic journeying, ceremony, drum circles, sound healing, and meditation and will have more overall volume, bass response, and resonance. If you want one drum to cover all the bases, I recommend a 14” or 16” drum.  

Rawhide Options: 
Available hide options for your drum are ELK, BUFFALO, and COW. Elk and buffalo are considered traditional hides and embody excellent properties for these style drums. Cow is growing in popularity for its availability and excellent quality in drum applications. Depending on availability, HORSE may be an option, too. Each hide has its own unique characteristics and “medicine.” Horse is typically the thinnest and most resonant and can come with very interesting markings and figuring on the hide. (Please message Walter regarding availability if you’re interested in horse.) Horse tends to be darker, ranging from lighter to very dark brown.  Elk is usually slightly thicker than horse and offers a nice balance of bass response and resonance. Elk is lighter in appearance and is a good choice if you intend to paint your drum. Buffalo is thicker and darker will have a deeper, richer tone with less high end resonance. Cow is not a “traditional” hide since it is a domesticated animal; however, cow hides are often used on traditional style powwow drums for their toughness and powerful, deep tone. Cow is also a good choice if you intend to paint your drum. 

Prices for ELK, COW, HORSE drums:
12” drum: $175
14” & 16” drum: $225
18” drum: $275
*Add $10 to above prices for a BUFFALO drum.
