This drum burst into life, literally, as the string lacing snapped exactly at the point of my last tie off - as I pulled the third 'knot' the lace snapped in EXACTLY the place I would have cut the hide when finished, so I didn't need to cut the 'umbilical'. It gave me quite a shock, followed quickly by a deep smile.
The face of the drum holds such a delicate spray of light patterning radiating up from the South of the drum. It feels cosmic, uplifting, exciting - my heart expands with life love. Its as if, something is about to happen, and it will be expansive and fun.
The name Beatha means 'Life' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. I love the multi-layered energy this word brings in. The handle has a mirrored goddess shape, or mirrored antlers, resembling a section of DNA - double helix.
When I look at this, my energy tingles with the feeling that looking at sacred geometry brings in for me. Life information in shape/form and then sound/vibration - LOVE IT!
The double ended beater is made from a fallen branch, chamois leather and includes hide from the drum. Each end offeres a slightly different sound and play feeling.
Is this spirit drum calling you?
Beatha
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.
