Recently I have been quietly working on something very dear to my heart. Last year I birthed my very first drum into being, a deeply resonant, 18 inch Water Buffalo Medicine Drum… and the moment I played this drum for the first time I felt a deep shift within.

Since then, I have been slowly making more drums and working with some wonderful, wise women and men to develop my skills and deepen my knowledge of this age old ancestral craft. What a deeply introspective adventure this has been!!

These images were taken earlier this year when I travelled to Scotland to create my beautiful, sweet sounding, 14 inch red deer medicine drum and now in a couple of days time, I shall be travelling north to Scotland again to bring a new drum into being, alongside the beautiful @ros.simons ✨
