Drum Making weekend is a great way to create a tool that has been used for thousands of years by cultures all over the world to bring people together.
Not only is it used as a ceremonial tool but also as a social one.
The drum is the closest to the very first sound we have ever heard. The sound of our own mother’s heartbeat. That is why the drum resonates so well with people and has become a part of so many cultures around the world.
The drum we will be creating is called a hand drum and consists of a pine or cedar hoop usually 16 inches in diameter and we use either deer or elk as the drum skin.
Over the weekend you will not only learn how to make and play the drum but you will also learn how to come together and share in a good way.
