The Cedar Hand Drum - Carving, Stretching & Drumming
The timeless beat of the drum stems back to a time when we made our own music literally from the ground up. Before drum shops and before Putumayo, materials were hand-harvested from the forest to create wonderful sounds and find rhythm in the world. In this course you will learn to carve a cedar hand drum from a hand-harvested cedar log and then explore hand drumming patterns for lifelong skills with music. You will also work with softened rawhide as it is stretched to a desired tension and tone in the drum head. Although every drum will vary depending on the hand-harvested log, the finished drum will be approximately 8" in diameter and 4-12" in depth.
