This 16" natural deer skin shamanic drum for sale has been made using an iron tension ring.
What a beautiful experience bringing this shamanic drum through was. So full of feminine, womb energy. Life force. Mother Earth. Birthed in the south. Used one long continuous length of skin strings. I couldn’t bring myself to shape a cross over the womb patterning, that was visible when the skin was wet (I have included a photo of that above). That pattering disapperated as the drum dried but the memory the energy is held within the drum. I chose instead to create a shape with the handle that reflected the shape of the female reproductive system and symbolises number three. A trinity of male, female and child. Birth and rebirth.
In the centre is a new jade stone. With healing properties of restoration and emotional balance and symbolism of harmony eternity and virtue. Valued for psychic development, attracting abundance, and an association with the heart chakra. There is an elegance about the shape the strings make, also with warrior like qualities. A tribal calling.
The hoop is made from maple wood and I used a dye called 'Spice' to swipe some circles on the inside of the hoop, visible.
I made the handles for the drum beater and partnering rattle from cherry wood. The hardness of this wood contrasts with the silk like smoothness of the now sanded and polished bark surface. It feels like the wood caresses your hand. Very sensual.
The beater is made with leather reversed showing the softer suede and is filled with 100% pure wool from Nutshell Flock - @nutshellflock. and joined to the cherry handle using the same deer skin.
The rattle, again using the same skin, is filled with rose quartz, a little clear quartz, corn, angelite and pyrite. I work with the energies and sounds when filling until it feels 'right'.
BUNDLE OFFER - I have listed these as a 'bundle' so sold on its own with the beater, this shamanic drum would be £320. The shamanic rattle £60. I'm listing them as a sacred healing tool bundle for £350. This is I believe truely very good value, a high quality drum and rattle set. Made in ceremony via the portal of my own heart. Now looking for their forever home.

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