Drums are handmade in ceremony with prayers and blessings, outside in a beautiful natural setting known as Dolwilym, West Wales.

It’s hoop is ash and the beat of this drum carries the spirit of animal and tree and their energy blend together with yours to create special journeys for you.

The drum beater is handmade with hazel wood, with a chamois leather beater head- stuffed with local sheeps wool.
The handle is wrapped in chamois leather, creating a soft comfortable handle.
Tied to the drum handle is a removable medicine pouch containing some earth from the land where the drum was made, sheep wool, hide, leather, ochre and prayers.

I made my first drum over 15 years ago and after reading Layne Redmond’s book “When the Women were Drummers” I felt guided to create drums for people to connect to the heart beat of our Earth Mother.
