After 20 avid years of drum making, I have retired.
I am still making drums that interest me. If any are
available, they can be found by clicking here.

Shaman Gourd Rattles
In addition to rawhide rattles, there are Gourd Rattles, which are traditional in some South American societies. I made these rattles from gourds grown near my home in Kansas. I selected heads with a canteen shape and filled them with different types of wooden beads to obtain the fullest sound.

These rattles were custom made, which took up to 4 weeks.

These rattles were large, up to 28 inches (71 cm) tall, and
the rattle heads were up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide.

Compared to rawhide rattles, gourd rattles are
much larger and weigh much less.

Sorry, I have
retired!
I accepted payments through PayPal.

Rattle Handles were made with select branches and were
wrapped with Bear, Buffalo, Deer, Elk, or Moose leather.

The rattles below were made for a group in Austria in 2009
