A few drums I made over last year
Scowler:
Nice looking drums. If you ever get around to making that norse themed drum you got to post a photo.
Autumnbear:
I will post that Scowler. I was thinking Thor's hammer or a boar with a runes border.
Medicine we will have to look in to how to get you a drum or at least the material and a little instruction. A moose drum would be sweet. Bison is nice and thick to. What types of rawhide is available in Germany?
medicinewheel:
Right now I have goat (real parchment) and some red stag and fallow deer rawhide. Could get calf skin timpany pads easy (the translucent stuff).
But moose ...yeah that would be sweet! Might get some from sweden maybe...
Autumnbear:
What about reindeer? I know in Scandanavia the farm them. I bet that would make a dandy drum. You know I'm also am thinking of making a double sided sweatlodge drum. That will have to be another buildalong!
Wolf Watcher:
The Eskimos in Barrow Alaska make their drums out of walrus. The drums are shaped like a big skillet and they use a stick to strike the bottome side of the drum. The make boats out of the walrus hides also! Joe
