"The "Red Road" is a metaphor for living a spiritual way of life.

Only you can walk your journey, but many are on the road."  Ref The Red Road - Spirit Horse Nation https://www.spirithorsenation.org/the-red-road

This drum will fit into a standard size drum bag. If we do not have bags in stock you can select Custom Made Drum Bag and select Large as the option.

All our rawhides are processed by hand in an environmentally friendly way, without harsh chemicals, thereby preserving the natural colours in the skin (as opposed to commerically done hides which are bleached).

We use solid timber hoops, steam bent to shape. All our drum hoops are custom made by us. We use environmentially sustainable sources of timber for our hoops, which we then cut, mill and shape. All our drum hoops are sanded smooth and sealed.
