Introducing Pepe, our master shamanic drum maker craftsman and musician friend2:47
A great way for shamanic practitioners to start working with spirit drums is to actually craft one. Especially if you are unsure how drumming deeply affects the core of your universal being. Although this ritual journey may not be easy at times as you grapple with implements, tools, wood and skin you will develop and form a better understanding of what and how you are doing.

Introduction to your shamanic sacred drum making - please observe ritual silence4:03
Drums are sacred. They are always treated with respect and honour. In Indigenous cultures they are neither seen nor treated as toys. Drums are not played in anger although drummers may play their drums in soothing and repetitive tempos to help release and heal anger in others. Consequently, it’s important PRIOR to making your drum that you work out what your intent is – WHY are you making your drum and therefore what energy do you wish to put into Her? During the actual drum making time you will be reminded from time to time to focus on ‘sacred breath’ – that is, to refocus on your heart intent and to consciously put that energy into your drum as you birth Her.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Gathering your material and tools you will need to craft your sacred drum1:47
Before you begin to craft your drum make sure you have all of the materials and tools that you need. The actual making of the drum is a beautiful process is a beautiful process. This will be a beautiful experience for you to practice peace within.

Spirit of the Drum Shamanism and Crafting Thriving Together2:37
The Sacred Spirit of the Drum
Every Single drum has a unique spirit that interacts with us in a variety of ways, from lending its power and help to the work at hand, be that healing, trance or sacred ceremony. The spirit of the drum is made up of different parts and grows in strength with time and continued sacred use of the drum.
Note that a powerful drum can lose its juiciness if it is not held sacred. Because we understand that the sacred is everywhere.
Within our drum, we have the spirit of the animal that we thank for its skin we use. And, if the drum beater is covered with leather, also the spirit of the animal that gave that.
Plus there is the spirit of the trees that give their wood for making the rim of the drum, and the stick of the beater.

Blessing your materials and workspace
Assignment 1: Blessing your materials and workspace1:06
It is essential that we bring the sacred into all we do and create. Join me here as we bless the sacred elements and components we are working with to craft our sacred frame drum
As the assignment feature is still not available on the Udemy App I am placing them here in this format. I love assignments however the negative feedback about the App has increased to such a level making it unwise to use. I am happy to provide feedback in the Q&A for you.

Focus your attention on your intention for crafting and spirituality2:39
Your drum
Your truth
Your journey
Let’s talk about focusing out attention on our intent. Our drums are sacred and We are here to honour the gifts from the Natural World and be in Right Relationship. Drums are designed to awaken and reconnect the Divine within you through the spirit of Nature. By working with our hands, head and heart in a harmonious and sacred way, we re-connect to the deepest part of ourselves and our relationship with Spirit.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Journey to tree who gifts us the material to craft our drum frame and beater12:28
We will undertake a guided shamanic journey to the middle world to tree. As we travel to the other side in order to meet the tree that gives us the material to create the frame for our drum. We go with the deepest of gratitude, as commonly tree simply gives it to us, – unconditionally – without questions, without ifs and buts. That is what tree does. Above all, tree gives us life. Tree is a part of us and we are a part of tree. Part of nature and the natural cycle of Mother Earth.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Cutting the sacred wood to craft your shamanic drum4:38
Let us begin but cutting the wood for our sacred frame. The sacred drum comes from all cultures - from as far back as the ancient goddess times.
You can do this my hand however patience is called for. Plus the accuracy of a saw is impressive.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Building our frame for our shamanic drum4:51
Tune in to the subtle song of the wood from your chosen tree. Don’t be afraid to stop and "tap" into tree’s energy as by tapping into its energy, you are showing that you care, that you believe the tree is more than a mere physical specimen you see standing. Walk in wonder. For each tree that stands has a special energy to offer you. Acknowledge your love for them as you walk by and the benefits you derive will equal the benefits they derive from you.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Whilst we are waiting for our frame spiritually arises within0:07
Patience is required in making our sacred frame drum. There is a two day recommend time frame to fully allow the glue to set. Please take this as an opportunity to reflect and discover a little more about drums.
The drum, the elements and honouring our sacred space with an invocation10:08
We are gathered here to honour the drum. We are all connected to the elements. Ritual has always been very important throughout human history. There must be an exchange of giving and receiving - a relationship must be built. The more you work with the elements, the more you come to know yourself and the people around you. All animals, plants, stones, emotions, inanimate objects, and energies are combinations of these elements..as, of course, are we. Everything has its own unique blend of the four elements in it: everything that has substance has earth in it; everything that has energy in it has fire; everything that flows and has feelings has water; and everything that involves sound and communication has air in it.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Altered states of shamanism and consciousness with the drum4:04
Society generally doesn't like us to express the wilder, instinctual side of our natures-our soulful and spiritual selves. And it doesn't encourage us to explore the possibilities of body-spirit unity. Thus we can become lost fragments, frustrated weary of life.
There is something primeval about drumming. It's cross-cultural. Drumming has moved people to battle, to joy, to healing, to purpose across history. It gets endorphins flowing, thought processes smooth out and patterns are more readily perceived. It increases pain tolerance and learning ability.
Drumming can bridge the gap between the reality of our daily life and the inspiration that comes from higher consciousness. It helps us manifest that inspiration as something tangible, something real, something that can be felt and shared with others. It doesn't matter if you're, a Buddhist, a Christian, a Shaman, you can sit down with a circle of people and start to drum.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Sanding our frame of our shamanic drum9:39
Smoothing the edges of your sacred frame is a very satisfactory time. You deeply connect with the wood. Yes, a sander is quick and joyous to use however you can also do it the very slow way. Just ensure your edges are all smooth - no nicks or snares anywhere. Your drum is slowly taking shape.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery

Meditate or journey to the spirit of the animal whose skin you are using guide9:25
Animal spirits walk among us. Every animal Spirit has its own medicine or power and this is unique. Your aim is to meditate or journey to the spirit of the animal to give thanks for the skin for your drum. For through your drum the spirit of the animal lives and continues to give.
It’s important to set your attention on your intention to merge with the animal spirit realm, and that you wish to contact the animal spirit. Silently to yourself, repeat your affirmation to meet your animal spirit. You can use the following phrase, or create your own:
“This moment, I receive the gift of animal sight. This moment, my animal spirit takes flight. Reveal to me what I must see. This moment, my animal totem connects with me. And lives on through my sacred drum”
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Drawing a sacred spiritual mandala on the leather7:00
Here we will trace the out circle or mandala of our leather, we will mark out the spaces for the ties. Please take your time as this is a very important step. Remember to focus your attention on your intention. Breathe - feel spirit working with you and through you. Making your drum is such a sacred experience.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Cutting the leather for your shamanic frame drum3:59
Many different types of rawhide are used in making drums. Purchased rawhide is recommended on the assumption that you are not likely to clean and prepare a fresh hide for your sacred drum.
You will need a piece of animal rawhide - fairly thick - 0.75 - 1.5mm - such as elk or thick deer, goat or kangaroo are some choices.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Making holes in the leather for your shamanic frame drum3:09
Making the holes in your drum head that the lace will pass through is a very important part of our creation process. The skin first needs to have the hole positions marked on it using the water soluble pencil.
The number and positioning of the holes is of great importance. There are many ways of lacing drums.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Soaking the leather for shamanic frame drum1:42
"The drum is the Great Spirit's favourite instrument. That's why we were all given a heartbeat..." ~ Mano, Navajo Elder
The skin needs to be soaked until it is soft. Use the bath for this, filled with cold water. The time for this will vary depending on the type of skin used. Make sure the skin is totally submerged.
Once the skin is soft, it can be worked with.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
We have another natural pause in our sacred drum making here0:08
Here with have another opportunity to flow into the sacred voice of our drums. Use this time to reflect and focus your attention on your intention. Our drums are talking shape and it is a very exciting time.
A Brief look at the history of drumming, shamanism and the role of women4:51
Shamanic ritual is the earliest known way to connect to the spiritual; in fact, shamans never viewed themselves as separate from all that is seen and unseen. Shamanism is the basis from which all spiritual and religious traditions later sprung. Evidence shows that since the Paleolithic era ritual trance has been induced with drumming. If you look at modern day religions, you see the seeds of ancient practices and celebrations embedded in them.
Drumming or sacred drumming is the most common method of helping people move into a trance state. This allows people to experience “non-ordinary reality”. This predates every other form of religious ritual.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Sacred symbolism of the drum from the Vedic tradition4:41
The sacred symbolism of the drum brings us back to our true selves, for when the sacred is removed from our life, We lose touch with our natural rhythm, ourselves, each other and our divine creator. And we are actual spiritual beings here having a human experience. An amazing gift to us to remember that we are sacred is the drum, for the drum awakens the sacred within, and the drum becomes our teacher.
When we work at crafting and meditating on the drum, so much get revealed to us. And all we have to do is to simply allow the drum speak to us. The message is there for those who wish to hear it. Simply have an open heart and mind. The symbolism alone of the drum shows us that we are connected to Great Spirit/All-That-Is -- to divinity. To touch the drum is to touch the sacred.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Drumming for our soul sacred spiritual shamanism is alive in your soul6:33
The longest voyage you will ever take is the seventeen inches from your head to your heart. When you resist, this takes lifetimes. When you surrender, you are already home. Drumming is one way to quicken the pathway Each drum has its own unique voice and vibration.
Crafting and playing a drum that you have made yourself is eminently more satisfying than playing any other. A drum of your own creation will be imbued with your own unique essence. It will become a powerful extension of your essential self.
From a shamanic perspective, drums are living beings, helping spirits, and allies. They deserve the utmost in honour, respect, and care.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery

Making your sacred drumstick crafting it shamanically9:44
If you are lucky to have natural bushland nearby then wander into the bush to find a suitable stick to use for the drum beater. Ensure your gain permission from the nature spirits before you take the stick.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Cutting the cord to tie the leather to the wooden frame1:22
Just remember, once you get started with the lacing, you cant stop. If you find you don't have time, you can leave them in the water to soak (but no longer than over night) or let them dry in an open air place and when you go back to work on the Drum, re-soak them.
Always anticipate needing more cord than you imagine you need.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Remove your leather after two days soaking in water1:22
Place your skin on a flat clean surface (use the ground cloth to protect the floor) and select the part of the skin you will use for the drum head. Place the frame on this area to make sure it is big enough and totally free of holes or very thin parts.
Remember, this is drum that you will keep for a lifetime and possibly pass on to next generations. The time you spend on the inspection of the skins, will be worth it.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Tie the leather to the frame of your shamanic frame drum9:54
The skin is the sacred voice of the drum and the drum is the bridge to the spirit realm... the pulse connecting us to our blessed earth mother's heart-pulse... and the circular shape is that of the hoop of life...
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
First adjustment of the leather tie on your shamanic drum3:39
When the skin is laced up, the slack of the lace must be taken up, and the drum skin tightened. Begin this by working the lace from one end to the other, gently pulling it as you go. By pulling it thus, you will take up the slack, and stretch the lace itself.
It's just like putting a new shoe lace in a pair of boots, you put the lace in place, then pull it tight, then finally knot the two ends together.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Second adjustment of the leather tie on your shamanic drum3:38
Once the slack has been all worked through, begin the whole process again, and then again, and again, until it feels like you cannot get any more slack out of the lace. Do not be afraid to pull quite hard on the lace, but do be careful not to break it, or the holes in the drum head; especially be careful if you are pulling on a particularly thin piece of lace.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Third adjustment of the leather tie on your shamanic drum5:10
Continue to tighten and pull up the slack as you go. Once you feel satisfied that you cannot get any more slack out of the lace, you can begin to bind the back into a cross shaped hand hold. Not only will this make the drum easier to hold, but the act of making the cross squeezes the criss-crossing spokes of lace together and puts even more tension into the drum.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Drumming for reconnection to all that is sacred - the natural rhythms of life3:05
Many moons ago we lived with the natural cycles of life. Whilst we embrace the gifts of our modern life, we must also see that we need ways to bring us back into harmony. Drumming can do this.
Consider how waves of electricity has changed our lives for good and not so good. Women for example, cycled with the moon before the ‘new waves’ came along. It is said by many that Electro-pollution weakens immune systems and creates stronger diseases. The biological systems of all living things are impaired because the natural frequencies of the planetary web are being drowned out.
We literally cannot hear the voice of the Earth Mother anymore. However, we can take steps to reconnect - simply activities like walking barefoot on our Earth mother. Spend some time - even just a few minutes looking to the stars, noticing the sunrise and sunset all helps to bring us back.

First of the four knots representing the sacred spiritual elements4:12
Shamanic drumming is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression. Based on his studies and personal shamanic experience we see you honouring the elements brings together the four corners of the world both seen and unseen.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Complete knots for the other three sacred spiritual elements9:49
We now complete our honouring of the elements. When we use a drum, we are totally aware of the spirit inside. We have honoured Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Your drum is really taking in the essence of the blessings from tree, skin and you.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Increase the tension on your shamanic spiritual drum14:24
As you increase the tension on your drum it really starts to come alive. Not yet ready to play - yet so close.
This drum beat is a pulse, rather than a tempo — it’s a life pulse that is waiting to draw it's first breath with you in the rhythm of life. That great heart beat that beats us all.
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Make the handle for your shamanic spiritual drum6:13
“Handheld frame drums are the oldest known musical instruments. . . In prehistoric times, their rhythms helped shamans and seers attain the sacred trance state necessary for healing and prophecy. The rituals of the earliest known religions evolved around the beat of frame drums.” Layne Redmond
Something to hold onto with lightness and love - your drum handle.
The beautiful sacred drum dates back as far as Great Mother Goddess times over 6,000+ years ago... and you'll find that almost every culture holds some kind of sacred drum within their cosmology... she is universal!
The sacred drum represents in essence, the heart-song + the pulse + voice of our Mother Earth, Gaia, Great Goddess - who goes by many, many names...
#Shaman #FrameDrum #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Self-discovery
Dry your drum and essential drum maintenance2:26
"Will it be a drum or just looked like one". When the drum is nearly complete we be patient for it must dry. As it dries. As it dries it will sometimes in emit crazy weird crackling sounds loud enough to wake us from sleep giving this feeling we have failed.
However once dry apply your drumstick and your drum will speak with its reach full tones.
It is a drum.

Guidelines to journey with your shamanic drum2:47
Pause reminding yourself what it means to pick up your sacred drum and what your drum means to you.
Ask yourself why you are picking your drum up: “I pick up my drum today in dedication:
to ask,
to thank,
to adore,
to praise,
to simply be,
to rest in Great Spirit’s wisdom/strength/peace
Begin any drum pattern you know by heart or play intuitively. This invocation is to help you go on a shamanic journey with your drum guiding you.

Your drum is already full of memories, the memories and voices of wood and skin. It's deep rhythmic vibrations fill all of the space around you. Seemingly dwelling forever as the sounds resonate through you from here to evermore. Your drum is as ancient as it is new, it is sacred.
Your drum holds the dreams of a fluid past and future that are not dominated by a western notion of time. Let is play you.
