Creation Story
Spirit Drums have been a part of my world for a long time, and as I have shared my passion with others, I began to notice 2 things. Firstly that many people had drums that were flat, and either they tended not to play them because they didn't sound for feel great, or they played them regardless, unaware of the dissonance that a flat drum can create.
The second thing I noticed was that more and more people were purchasing synthetic hide drums. Some, because of their desire to not have animal hide on their drums, but many because the drums didn't go flat with the humid weather. These drums were more convenient, and it seemed to solve the problem of a flat drum.
As I sat with what I noticed, and attempted to play and tune into synthetic hide drums, it became obvious to me that bulk manufactured drums didn't have the energy, connection or Spirit that a Medicine Drum has when it has been made in ceremony and honoring of the Tree and Animal Spirits. I also noticed that these synthetic skin drums lacked the connection to the animal kingdom that a traditional Spirit Drum has, and lacked the richness of Sound that an animal hide drum offers.
Further down the road I also discovered than Synthetic hide drums do eventually stretch, going flat, loosing their resonance and can never to tuned back up, which means they end up in landfill, and being plastic take hundreds of years to break down, poisoning the Earth.
For years I made hundreds of drums, mastering the tension to ensure that each drum would stay in tune as best as it could, within the variables of the climate they were in. But no matter how much of a master you become, ultimately most drums cannot handle the variations that we experience in our modern world. Musicians travel from one city to the next, and their drums experience a huge range of climates, from Dry desert climates to Cold wet winter days. No Traditional Spirit Drum can be perfectly in tune for such a range of situations without a little help.
So I began the journey of exploring different types of Tunable drums. Some had inherent problems, my 3rd inflatable drum had a fault in the tube after 3 months, and could never be tuned again, and my drums that used an Allen-key to tune it, worked well, but could be fiddly and if you lost your tool or forgot it at home, then no tuning was possible.
Then one day in my search for ideas into how to create a tool-less tuning system, I came across a website, where a drum maker had made a tuning system similar to the one you see here, but for frame drums. A truly brilliant idea!
As I explored the possibilities, I realized that what I wanted to create was a top of the line, quality Spirit Drum, one that sounds amazing, but that still has the unique and ceremonial qualities of Traditional Spirit Drums.
And so my Tunable Signature Series Spirit Drums were birthed. With the incredible help of my Dad, (amazing engineer, inventor and all round problem solver), my always supportive partner (who has been oh so patient as the drums multiply), and the constant guidance of the Spirit of the Drums, I am so excited by the powerful and connected drums with all their unique energies that are constantly coming through.
These drums take a lot more to birth through, but they are ready to work with you any time, they are made from the best quality materials and they will last you a lifetime.
