Handmade Traditional North American 90cm Mother Drum

90cm Handmade Mother Drum — Double-Sided, One of a Kind

A genuinely special instrument: a 90cm hand-made mother drum, crafted in West Canada in the traditional methods of that culture. The sound is deep, resonant and transcendent — the kind of low, enveloping tone that fills a whole room and settles a whole group.

Double-sided, so you get two distinct voices from one drum: one side smoother and brighter, the other rougher-skinned with a slightly different tone (shown in the photo of the vertical drum surface — I've always played this side as the bottom). Natural hide markings and mottling throughout are part of its character, not damage.

Comes complete with its own wooden stand and a padded Thomann carry case.

This isn't a mass-produced item — it's a genuinely one-of-a-kind, ceremonial-grade drum, the sort used in sound healing, group facilitation, and ceremony work. I've loved having it but it's not getting the use it deserves, so it's time it went to someone who'll play it properly.

I have a video demo I'm happy to send — but fair warning, phone mics don't get close to doing this drum's low end justice. Really needs to be heard (or played) in person to appreciate. Collection preferred, from Petersfield, Hampshire... or from London. Delivery possible.
