NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING by law on wild deer hide drums!
Drum size: 12”
Head: elk Rawhide
Woad paint, stained into the head of the drum
Rinn mi seo druma ann Slighe sean, torr tollan ann an druma ach cha bhi e “effect” air am fuaim. Ma tha Thu aig irraigh èisteachd ris is urrainn dhomh faidhle fuaime a thoirt dhut, dìreach cuir teachdaireachd thugam.
I made this drum in the old way, lots of holes but it doesn’t effect the sounds of the drum. if you want a sound file please message me and I will send it to your phone or email.
The paint used on this piece is becoming a lost art it is extremely special. Pigment paints are made from crushed stones and plants. I have to mix each color by hand every time I paint, and I usually have to reheat my paint several times throughout the painting process. I use only hand carved painting sticks to apply my paint to the piece.
these drums are difficult to make, one wrong punch and you can ruin the head of the drum. these sacred pieces are a unique step towards rewildling ourselves and representing our ancestors in Indigenous circles worldwide, to my knowledge the Gaels are the only Celts that made these drums, and it is a beautiful way to use a hand drum without appropriating other Indigenous cultures.
The ancestors to this style drum can be found at the Highland Folk Museum just outside of Inverness, Scotland.
Please also know that the words Wecht is a Scots-English word and not traditional Gaelic/Gàidhlig
Portions of this sale of this item will go to various language teaching groups in the Scottish Gàidhlig communities I’m involved with as well as the The Shieling Collective located outside of Inverness.
