Custom Harmonic Shamanic Basic Drum Beater
We make several kinds of drum beaters because each type has a different sound and brings out the best in different kinds of drums.
Our basic beater is made in either a hard, medium or soft version. The hard version gives you a strong "attack" to your sound, and a sharper envelope. These beaters seem to do especially well on the larger, thicker drums. It is made with a core center of cotton cloth covered by deer suede and wrapped in waxed thread. The medium beater has a hard cotton core covered by carded wool & deer suede & wrapped with waxed thread for an in-between sound. The soft version gives you a more extended sound with less of the strike sound & more "hum". It works well on the thinner hides and is recommended for the European style drums. It is made with a core center of carded wool covered by deer suede and wrapped with waxed thread. Please specify the type of beater you want when ordering (if you do not, we will send you a medium)
The handles are made of willow hand cut by us in a wild place on the Sandy River (we always gift the willow trees for their sacrifice and cut where they tell us).
