A message from the maker...
Creativity fuels my life. Making drums comes from a deep place within, which is about healing, creativity and helping others. I worked hard to learn this sacred art - it was a healing journey. My spirit calls me to make drums, to play them, to sing for healing and joy. When I make a drum, I participate in a sacred circle, blessing the materials, thanking the animals, plants and guiding energies (the circle of life). I offer cleansing smoke to the hides and frames, and say prayers to prepare them to be healing tools. There is a lot that goes into it, and the drum is a powerful tool, but, the real power is in the human heart. I believe that if you use the drum with reverence, humility, and passion, that it will not only bring healing you and your clients, but becomes a force of upliftment of the planet.

Comments
"Thank you, Michael, for the beautiful and powerful drum I bought from you. I enjoy playing it in all my ceremonies and healing sessions around the world. My clients believe it had special vibrations and a built-in orchestra in it. I highly recommend Michael Cutter’s drums."

"Thank you Michael, I love my new buffalo & macaw feather sacred geometry drum! Can't wait to give some amazing sound healings with him. These drums are stellar quality and clearly made with care."
- Angela Schuster, Boulder, CO
I attended one of Michael’s Shamanic Medicine Drum Making workshops and can’t say enough about how special the experience was. There was such a vibrant energy in the space and in our group while making our drums. Each drum had its own unique and beautiful details once done. I highly recommend both this experience and doing a fingerprint analysis reading with Michael!

Make Your Own Drum
Build-your-own-drum ceremonies happen from time to time. There is an ancestral altar space and we work with sage and herbs to cleanse and bless the materials. These ceremonies are a great way to connect deeply with your drum, and it is often a healing experience for those attending. Check the schedule or feel free to call and schedule a time. You can schedule individual or group sessions to make your drum. Prices for making your own drum vary but are similar to purchasing a drum depending on the details of the gathering.

Toning Drums
These tunable drums are goatskin head with a Mulberry frame. Being tunable makes them ideal for getting the perfect tone regardless of environmental conditions. They are quality made by a third party and customized with a special drumstick and handle. They have deep warm resonance with rich overtones and play very sensitively compared to our medicine drums. They are great for vocal toning - the lightweight head resonates with the voice, amplifying the it to fill the space with ethereal, magical sounds. They are available in multiple sizes from 12 to 38 inches with 16" and 22" being most popular. Please contact Joy for information or special orders.
16" Toning Drum - $135
18" Toning Drum - $145
22" Toning Drum $175
Payments can be made by clicking here Or contact Joy by emailing her here.

Drum Sticks
Our drum sticks are made from wood and materials from used, repurposed, or recycled materials sources when possible. Do not take your drumstick for granted! Getting the best sound from your drum requires just the right stick. One stick is included FREE with drum purchase. Styles vary to include natural local wood, repurposed maple or oak sticks, and various beater styles from traditional leather to our custom soft sticks ideal for use on the toning drums. See pics above for two styles.
