WHY BUY A DRUM FROM The Drum People?


If you compare Native American drums, you may notice that many of them seem to look alike.  Our drums look different. Wonder why? We build our own hand drum hulls from RIVER-RECOVERED CEDAR.   We build round hand drums, octagon hand drums, sweat lodge drums, and powwow drums.  We offer each type of drum in several standard sizes, or we can build a drum to your custom size specifications.

We do not buy one-piece plywood hoop drums for $10.00 from a supplier and simply stretch a hide over the hoop (and make a huge profit).  We do not use salad bowls for our drums.  We do not cut down new trees to build our drums.  We painstakingly cut, plane, hammer and sand every stave of RIVER-RECOVERED CEDAR to make each drum unique.  From the sawmill to the shipper, your drum is handled by Keith and Cheryl, The Drum People, in a loving, respectful way.

Some people call us tree-huggers.  We call it Respect for Mother Earth.  We invite you to become a partner in our recyling efforts.  We believe that drums should be sacred instruments - from their construction in Keith's hands to resting in your hands, where they will carry your songs and prayers to Creator.

  • All drums come with a free drum stick.  
  • All powwow drums come with a FREE STAND.
  • We offer beautiful unique drum bags, with leather fringe, crafted from durable Native American print fabrics.
  • We build the only leather drum bags on the market, by hand, punching holes and cutting lace, to sew them.
