I am currently making several types of Drums. Please Contact me  for price and availability.

-UDU Drums from Gourds that I call “GOUDU’s”.

My Goudu Drums are made from heavy walled “birdhouse” gourds. I am using a combination of fire (torch) and brilliant colored dyes to create unique finish. Each Goudu or skin drum is coated internally with a heavy marine grade expoxy for strength and to tone and finished with several coats of Poly Urethane on the outside.

They are rugged and durable so slap away! Goudu’s range from $40-60 depending on the size and finish.

  

 

 

 

-Gourd Skin Drums

Made from Heavy walled gourds and finished in the same manner as my Goudu’s. They are covered with a rawhide goat skin stretched over the opening and laced with rawhide. Price range from $50-75.

  

 

-Wooden Tongue Drums

My wooden tongue or slit drums are made from quality hardwoods. The boxes are typically Oak or Maple but some exotic woods might be used. The Tops are made from 3/4 to 1” thick Paduak. Paduak is an African hardwood that is used due to the unique tonal quality. These drums really “ring”. For the soundboards I am using a musical grade plywood. Tongue Drums feature a hand rubbed Oil finish and include a pair of “bouncy Beaters” with Hardwood dowels handles.

Prices range from $75 - $150.

 

-Cajon Drum

 

“Snare Cajons” or box drums are hand crafted from Musical grade plywood. They can include some hardwood details and finished using Poly Urethane or hand rubbed Oils.

Prices Range from $125-$200
