I believe each drum is a living being and has free will to go to it's respective owner.
Sometimes people will see one of my designs and the drum speaks to them. They choose that drum and the drum chooses them.
Other times I am asked to make a personal drum for someone's journey.
What I do when someone wants a personal drum for their journey is ask the drums, which one of you belongs with "your name".. Sometime one of the drums I have made comes forward, sometimes I have to make a new one with that intent.
For the design I like to have a discussion about what totems or animals or symbols you are resonating with. I will then complete a design for your review. Once you satisfied with the design and complete the payment I will paint the drum. I will mention that the paper design does have a different look than the painted design but the basic symbols is the same. The reason for this is the colours of computer graphics is different than the paint available plus my creative mind goes to work and willl change things as they seem more appropriate. See samples below.
What size is best for you? There are a couple of factors to consider. First if you plan on traveling a lot with the drum it has to fit in your suitcase or bag. A 20 inch drum does not travel well in luggage. Secondly, if the drum is to be used in sweats then something a bit smaller is suggest. In playing the drum you want to be able to hold it comfortably. Most personal drums I make are 14-18 inch..
What does it cost? The cost of the drum plus the painting. Price List for Drums The design and painting of the drum is 60 cents per square inch. .
