Bio

Sacred Mountain Drums goal in life is "a drum in every home". It's kind of like that commercial for almonds, "a can a week". I wouldn't want people to need to buy a drum every week. A drum should last a life time. But can a person just have only one drum? I have drums all over my home and I want more. It's been that way for a long time.

Who's up for creating a drum-builders 'union' or 'guild' as it were? Seeing these kinds of videos are an obvious testimony to the nescessity of one now more than ever...We have to unite and get organized or else we will lose the drum just like we lost the dreamcatcher...everyone out there reading this...buy locally! Don't let the drum become another shoddy Chinese knock-off...everyone will lose that way!

haha white man making our drums he s doing his ritural wrong he needs to inhale if he;s trying to be native

[crazy8sdrums]

He is absolutely right about how the energy of the maker affects the energy of the drum.

My ritual has been to keep new drum creations in my bed so it can share my dream-state with me. If I share my dreams with the drum, the drum will share its dreams with me.

Cheers for sharing your drum knowledge with us!

@reoification Atleast he respects the old ways and lives them with pride, if it is how he was taught then I see nothing wrong with it

@reoification Keep doing discrimination..you have no right to make any difference between your skin and the other ones. What really matters it is the feeling and love for everything you do. If you want peace so stop to talk as white man white woman or yellow or brown ones. Our Mother Earth it is just only from those that can love and if you dont respect the others and love the others you dont respect either the instructions of the Universe and mother earth.

"...We already lost our dreamcatchcers to China, didnt we?!"

I believe various governments (recently) are working torwards copyright protection of indigenious cultures and other culture copyright protections.
