You will be make either a 12 or 15 inch Spirit Drum
- 12 inch drums are a perfect travel size with more reverberation.
- 15 inch drums are great for longer periods of drumming and a beautiful size
We are working with ethically sourced hides of either deer or elk.
Deer are associated with the heart chakra. It is the easiest hide to work with. They are nearly white in color, and have a great reverberation. However, they are finicky about damp weather. But, Misty will teach us a few tricks to help with this.
Elk are associated with the solar plexus chakra. These hides can vary in color from a light yellowish coloring, to a milk chocolate. The tone is a bit lower than deer, and very melodic. These drums usually take longer to dry after making than any other hide. But it is well worth the wait!
