Once dried the hair on the face of the drum is trimmed to create the desired tone. A very different sound to a hair free spirit drum's' drums with hair offer a softer sound with less resonance. This drum holds a gentle, quiet energy of love, holding space without interupting others but from a place of soverignty.
I love the texture, feel and character of these drums, as well as the variety of tone they offer to a drum collection.
The handle for the beater is made from a fallen oak branch, chamoise suede filled with sheeps wool and attached using the same goat hide as the drum.
Ermintrude is a feminine name that means "entire beloved" and "universal strength." It comes from the old German words ermin, meaning “universal,” thruth, meaning “strength,” and traut, which means “beloved,”
Is this drum calling you?

My shamanic drums are made from sustainably sourced hides and wooden hoops. All my drums come with a beater that usually has the same animal skin used in some way, to connect them. I always work in a sacred ceremonial way respecting all parts of the process.
