I have, after 20 satisfying years of drum making, retired. I am still making drums that interest me. Any that are available can be found by clicking here.

Buffalo Drums, Rattles, Kits

Buffalo rawhide is very traditional for drums, rattles, and ceremonial work. I found Buffalo to be the most flexible and durable hide. Buffalo rawhide is easy to work with, and it tolerates weather and humidity changes well. I offered completed drums and rattles as well as kits for buffalo drums and buffalo rattles.

A Drum Mallet with a handle wrapped with Bear, Buffalo, Deer, Elk, or Moose leather came with each Drum.

Drum Kits included drum skin, drum frame, hide lacing, drum mallet, and step-by-step instructions. You supplied spray bottle, old towels, a strip of cloth to wrap around the drum edge, and a razor tool or sharp scissors.

Rattle Kits included hide pieces for the rattle head, stick for handle, leather to wrap handle, artificial sinew, corn, tapesty sewing needle, and step-by-step instructions. You supplied sand, funnel, glue, string, rubber band, and a razor tool or sharp scissors.

This is a very large 24-inch (61-cm) Buffalo Drum.
