 |
Shaman Drums and RattlesI also enjoy making nonordinary drums -- like the buffalo drum with its fur still on -- or a reproduction of a Saami drum from hundreds of years ago. Those are exciting and challenging projects. |

| The six drums below are painted hand drums. I painted them to acknowledge and support my shamanic allies. These images assist me with my shamanic journeys and strengthen my journey experiences. | |

| The two drums below are Saami drum reproductions. That is, they are re-creations of two drums made hundreds of years ago in Northern Europe. The first drum is a bowl design; few cultures around the world have ever used bowl drums. The second drum is an oval design that is supported with a single stick handle running the length of the drum. | |

| The final two images below have six drums and are included to show the great diversity of hides from the same kind of animal. The first three drums are Buffalo hides, one light, one dark, and one with the hair still on. The second three drums are Bear hides and have three different shades of hide. | |
