Buckskin Drumstick
FREE Buckskin Drumstick
included with every drum purchase!*
*handle and leather vary according to availability

We lace the drums onto a separate piece of rawhide for even pressure, preventing tearing.

The drum handles are wrapped in recycled mink or leather and made so you can slide your hand underneath so it fits like a glove.

How Do I Care For My Drum?

18" Custom Fur Drumsticks also available.

 

 

Fur heads on our custom drumsticks (beaters) give a softer sound. Your choice of fur and leather colors.

Drum Hide Choices:
Please note: Like human skin colors, animal skin color varies.
How the hide is processed also affects coloring. 


Hide Choices

1. Cow: medium weight; light color; rougher texture (most common)
2.
Buffalo: thicker hide; darkest color  
3.
Elk: thinner, lighter weight, color ranges from light to dark 
4.
Moose: produces the deepest sound; lighter color than buffalo

Hide colors will vary depending upon availability.

Buffalo hide
Elk and Cow hide
are thinner | but still strong!

Elk hide
Buffalo hide is thicker, producing
a deeper tone.

Moose Hide
Moose hide
has the deepest 
tone of all.

To Gary and Carol,
I just received the drum in the mail this afternoon and I'm very happy with it--the workmanship is excellent!  It's wonderful that you could get it to me so quickly! Thanks!
- Laura Buskirk

Chief Joseph
Chief Joseph

Native American Style Chief Drums
Hand-painted by Alix Mosieur

The Great-Great Granddaughter of a "Nez Perce / Blackfoot", Alix Mosieur's art is diverse, but her first love and consuming interest is in painting portraits of Native American Indians, concentrating on those men involved in the Indian Wars of the last century.

Painted on 18" Living Drums, Alix's Native American Style Indian portraits come alive with the character of the men who inspired them. 

Custom orders are available if you don't see the Native Indian Chief you're interested in listed below. A picture may be requested to accompany your order.

Hi Gary,
Just to say the drum has arrived safe with me at home finally! It's absolutely beautiful and just as I had pictured it. The white stallion in the front is amazing! And there's something definitely very powerful about the drum I think.

The tone is brilliant as well and just as I had wanted.
So many many thanks and I will definitely be ordering again from you. Sincerely,
- Nick Harris

Dear Gary,
I rec'd my order today, and my hawk drum & 2 rattles are beautiful! The Hawk painting on the drum is fantastic!
So are the Wolf & Hawk paintings on the rattles! I am very pleased, & will probably order from your company again. Thank you very much!
- Lisa Busalacchi

My son gave me one of your drums for Christmas. He said you called and were worried it that it wasn't painted as the pix on the net showed. Not to worry, It's beautiful & I love it just the way it is! I'm going to use it at my next meditation group!

Gary,
I searched the internet for several hours over several days and concluded your drum was the superior craftsmanship. Then, when I got to talk to you I was able to hear that a good man had made my drum.

Next, I played the drum. I experienced the timeless magic your drum creates, the Mother's vibration, an increasingly threatened sacredness in a busy, materialistic, modern, technological world. 
May the Great Spirit watch over you, Gary, an ancient drum maker. Many thanks,
- James R. Byerley

The 28-inch ceremonial drum arrived yesterday and is in good shape. It is interesting that we live in the same county as Cherokee, NC but could find no ceremonial drums here, not even on the reservation.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

Gary,
I just wanted to thank you so much for my Four Directions Drum. I just love it. I have a drumming class tonight and can't wait to share it with the group. The sound is wonderful!

I also like the rattle I purchased from you. I am so pleased that I found your web site.  I am sure others will be asking me where I made these wonderful purchases. Again thank you.

Gary:  I received my 18" drum with Kicking Bear wearing the White Buffalo head dress. It has exceeded my expectations. The painting is beautiful, the quality exceptional, the sound vibration sublime.
It was received with admiration and awe at its first smudging meditation. Thanks again, I'm sure I will be doing business with you again.

Dear Gary,
 I received my first beautiful drum from my husband on Christmas. It's 15' with the Turtle painting.  The sound is as wonderful as the painting....I really treasure it.
Thanks to you & the company for a lifetime partner in my drum,

Thanks much

Gary,
Man, you guys are quick! I received my drum on Monday the 10th after ordering it on the 6th. It arrived in good condition and it is all that I had hoped it would be.

The drum arrived safely today. It looks and sounds beautiful!

Thank you!

Gary,
Just a quick note to tell you I received my drum order. I just LOVE the drum! Its beautiful and it sounds wonderful! I was thinking it would be heavier than it is and I am delightfully surprised. I am going on a retreat this weekend and the following weekend -- both will have drum circles..... so I will proudly bring my new drum.
Thanks so much for the quick turn around on the order and the great drum!!
Love and Blessings,
Tammy
Hi Gary: 

My husband got his drum with the frog painted on it for Father's Day and loves it (we all do). I wanted to let you know that we really love the drum and really, really love the artist's rendition of the frog!
Have a great day.
Leigh F.

 

I received my drum yesterday and it is awesome. Thank you for a quick delivery. The White Buffalo is a spirit totem that has come to me this past year and has been very powerful in my life. I have been wanting to get a Native Drum this year and I could not pass this up when I saw it. 
Thank you, 
Songbird
Dear Gary, 
I received my drum on Tuesday and it was beyond my expectations. My friends thought I was crazy to buy a drum off the internet. How would I know what kind of voice it had, are they legitimate, are they made in a sacred way? Well I just loved your web site and I investigated all the other sites but yours had really good energy, so I took a chance (well not really). 

My drum totally sang to me the first time I played it, and the voice, what a voice! I can't wait to take it into ceremony. I love the painting of the feathers, you will see by my email address I am twomanyfeathers and this drum fit me perfect. So, please say a pilamia (thankyou) to your drum makers and painters. Keep up the good work! 
Sincerely, 
Jaya O.

Dear Gary, 
just wanted to thank you and to let you know my drum arrived here in the U.K. (within 8 days) and what a drum! (limited edition 4 directions)

I was stunned, it's so beautiful, amazing. took it to my drumming circle last night and our shaman got me to bless it etc. and said I had to waken it up, so I had to drum on my own...
Everyone loved your drum and each wanted to drum it but our shaman stopped them and explained to them why. 

So they asked me where I got it from and I have passed on your details. again many thanx for my drum and first class service and speedy delivery. x love and light  

Jan,
Portsmouth, U.K.

Gary,
I received my drum today and I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with it. The workmanship is beautiful!!! You truly are an artist and have found your calling in life. The sound is extraordinary and takes me back to the drumming I did with a shaman in Idaho a number of summers ago while serving at a hospital as a chaplain-in-training. If the sound of the drum sounds this good with a regular beater, I cannot imagine how marvelous it is going to sound with the custom beater I ordered and am anxiously awaiting. 
Thank you again for the gift of the drum which you so openly share with the world. Each time I play the drum I am reminded of the heartbeat of Mother Earth. 

Peace,
Mark L., pastor

Hi Gary, thank you very much for the beautiful drum that was shipped to me. I truly enjoy playing her. Excellent work!

My wife gave a drum you made for Christmas and I love it!
The craftsmanship is exquisite and it sounds great! 
It is the best present I have ever received. It moved me to tears.
I am looking forward to playing it is circle with other men.

Gary,
Just dropping you a line to let you know the drum you sent March 3rd was sitting in Post Office as you suspected. I love the sound and appreciate the nice work. I'll send you a picture after I finish my personal design....going to practice on posterboard first. 
Thanks again. 
Margo K.
Gary --
Se:ko! I am writing to let you know that over the past week I have received all your wonderful creations. The drums are gorgeous to look at, the Orenda of heron drum really reminds me of a heron flying over the water and the Orenda of the pow-"wow" drum -- really fills my house. It's so big I can hear it beat even though no one is drumming!

Hi Gary.
Just a note to say I received the 18 inch buffalo hoop drum I ordered. Delivery was quicker than I thought it would be and the drum is truly a delight.

The beauty of the dark buffalo hide will be a thing to proudly display and I was really surprised at the sound. You can feel the vibration throughout the body when struck. The volume and tone is fantastic. 
Many thanks, 
Jim C.

Hello,
I just got my first drum from you, Empowered Woman, and it is wonderful. I am creating a non-profit corporation called Sacred Women to provide weekend retreats for women providing education and experiential experiences to grow and be healthy.

Hi Gary,
This is Don in Houston. I just want to let you know how much I'm enjoying the 18" buffalo hoop drum along with the soft beater and bag.

Your craftsmanship is superb. Along with the native American flutes I play and your drum, I'm now dancing with the Great Spirits. Thanks for the quick turn-around and service.
Drum on,
Don T.

Thank you Gary for my drum to which i received today, and i will say it is fabulous, and amazing. Thank you once again.

Hi Gary- we received our order today. We are absolutely in love with the buffalo drum. Can you send three more of the 18"? They were a hit with several of our singers!

Gary,
I received the drum in the mail yesterday. The hawk came out really nice and the drum sounds fantastic.
Mike B.
Hi Gary,
I picked up my drum today at the post office. I was stunned at the beauty when it was removed from the box! Thank you for this beautiful instrument of the elements. When I first held it and then softly started it's song, the elements of air and earth were clear in the room, later water and fire danced. It is exactly what I've dreamed of for years. 

The first skin drum I got about 5 years ago didn't resonate with me, and never got another one. This drum has such a beautiful essence. I am so grateful to have it for Saturday's workshop, I know great healing work will be done there.


Much gratitude to you for calling me Monday morning and doing business quickly and professionally with this exceptional work of art.
De F.

Hi Gary,
Wow! What an amazing drum! I am absolutely impressed and moved beyond my ability to even put into words. The voice this drum has is simply beautiful, strong and commands attention. The drum just sings with joy (although in low tones). It will invite other drum voices to join in and become one in voice and purpose! The drum captures my heart, captures my soul. It speaks to me and through me. Thank you for that most wonderful gift.

The design was perfect. It fits my animal name so very well. The artist did an outstanding job in interpreting my needs, my moods, my feelings. I was surprised to see the border so different from what I had imagined, but pleasantly so! I will most definitely recommend you to others! You will continue to have my gratitude each time the drum is heard and used. 

The sage and abalone shell also arrived in good shape. Oh, the memories and feelings that the smell of sage produces in me. Profound healing and peace.
In peacefulness, joy and humility!
Aho!

Dear Gary,
A quick note of effusive praise for the drum just received -- 18" "Strength in Light" single sided. No offense to your web designer, but the pictures do NOT do these magnificent drums justice.

The painted image is beautiful, vibrant and living. The drum feels alive. You can feel the reverbs throughout the house. The tone is beyond meaningful: deep and full of throaty, harmonic tenor vibrancy. I can feel the positive vibrations in every inch of my body. My dogs (a Newfie and Shepherd) sing along.

The hide itself is taut and exceptional, and it's clear how much care went into the lacing which is extraordinary. This is where the pictures do not do justice. The translucent and tight skins are a thing of glowing beauty, even in dim light, and you simply can't see that in pictures. You also can't see the paint from the images (which makes it look richer). 

I love the custom drumstick with the fur. Nice tone and very handsome. Rather than a work of good craftsmanship and nice tone, the drum feels more a living spirit -- I suppose that's where you came up with your name, Living Drums. Thank you again! I'll certainly order again.

OMG! It arrived today and I can't even thank you enough! The colors in the art and the entire construction of such a beautiful piece reached far beyond what I imagined it could be. 

You are truly amazing! This will be in my family for generations to come! Thank you again Gary for this wonderful work of art and how quickly I received it.

Hello Gary.
I waited a long time, (3 weeks), but it felt like 3 years, and then a sunny Friday it was here, my drum, and what a drum.
I love the sound, and I can drum for hours, it takes me to places I never been before. Gary, thank you very much for a wonderful drum and for all  the experiences I have when I'm  drumming.

Gary,
Thanks for the super fast delivery of the beautiful 13" drum with eagle silhouette. 
I can't wait to give it to my nephew and to hear him play it. I know he's going to love and enjoy it..

Sincerely,
Ann G.
Greetings Gary
The drums arrived safely today and we are thrilled with them.

I presented the Four Corners Drum to my nephew Paul (32yrs old) the Freedom Drum to my sister Gerry and I have The Raven Drum. 

Once again many thanks for our drums, the tones are beautifully clear. Please thank your artists from the bottom of our hearts. My Raven Drum emits pure power before I even drum, and all 3 of us can see a wolf in one corner very clearly which is appropriate for I have been given the wolf by the ancient spirits as my totem.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Blessings I send to you
Lynda S.
Hi Gary, I've just received the drum yesterday at noon. It's awesome, looks great and also sounds great. This is the first skin drum I've ever got, I played it for while and it is very healing and can feel very connected to Mother Nature and ancestors of the past. 

Me being partial native from my dad's side, I believe I have made the best choice to get it from you. Truly it is the best. I would play it every time whenever I think of my dad. Sadly,.... my dad passed on last year of 2008 and having this drum heals me a bit each time I played it. 

Thanks much, will treasure it for years to come.

~ Jonny "the Lion"
Hi Gary
I am writing this e mail to you as I would like to thank the lady who has painted my nephews drum for him, his name is Nicholas Harris from Southampton England. He has just sent me a picture of it and it is wonderful.

I expect you remember him telling you about the drum I saw, I was convinced that it was on your web site, but I must admit I haven't found it since, but please could you pass on the message for me to the lady who very kindly took the trouble to paint what he asked for.

It is very much the same as I thought I saw. Anyway Many Blessings to both of you and once again thank you very much.

Dear Gary,
Thank you so very much for my buffalo hide, owl drum. She is so beautiful I cried when I held her. 
I knew from speaking with you on the phone that you would make me the drum my guides had said was meant for me. Please tell the artist how much I appreciate his/her gifts and skill too.

Most sincerely,
Nancy
Hi, Gary-
I just received my Raven drum, and it is really beautiful, and the sound is just great! As is the Turtle rattle and smudge stick. I'll definitely be purchasing more products from you, and as I begin building my drum circle I'll suggest that they get their drums from you. Also, do you have any information of the artist of the Raven drum (H. Gilbey?)?

All the best,
Kim B.

Gary,
I received the drum I ordered today and the whole family loves it. Thanks for getting that out so fast and for the great quality merchandise. I will most definitely order from you again in the future. 

Thanks again,

I can't thank you enough for sending the drum out during such a crazy season... I got it this morning and am thrilled with it. 

You do beautiful work and the sound is wondrous! I will enjoy this for years to come. 
Thank you for making one of my dreams come true.

Many blessings coming your way... 
My gratitude is enormous.

Dear Sir, 
I received my drum yesterday and all I can say is WOW!!!!! FIRST of all, Whoever painted the drum is an excellent artist and it must of taken alot of time just to make the drum itself. I started to play the drum after I opened it and scared the heck out of my cat. 

The sound could be heard throughout the house, whether I hit the rim of the drum or more towards the center of the drum. I am looking forward to purchase another one of your finely-crafted drums in the next couple of months. Thank-you

Michael G.

Wanted to let you know I received both drums yesterday. Thank you so much Gary, the crafting is outstanding & you have truly made my heart sing again.

The painting is absolutely outstanding & Mary went far beyond to blow me away! What a wonderful spirit she is & please hook her up for her efforts! :-)

Again, thank you so much for everything...Such beautiful gifts to honor Mother Earth & Father Sky!

Hi Gary,
Just a note to say I received one of your drums as a gift for Christmas. It was sent to me in Ireland and I received it in perfect condition and was very impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship and sturdy design. Thank you so much.
I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Kind regards,

Hi Gary, 
I received my custom order drum today. The design and colors are
perfect! I'm sure my mom and dad love it when I give it to them at Christmas. 
I truly appreciated your excellent customer service, quality, and quick turnaround on this item. Please pass along my compliments to Holly for her work on designing the drum.

Jeff
Hi. The drums arrived today (thank God as we are having a circle @ 3:00 today) and they sound and look fabulous. 
I'm sure as the circle
takes of that we will have more orders coming your way.

Thanks,

Dear Gary,
I can't believe how quickly the drum that I ordered arrived! It is just beautiful and I cannot wait to see my husbands face when he opens it on Christmas morning! 
Thank you for the wonderful, prompt service and the quality merchandise. 

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Good Morning, Gary

I just got back from the post office with my new drum and cover.  What a beautiful instrument -- both in sound and sight.  
The artwork is exceptional and more importantly, the craftsmanship is superb.  I love the full rich sound of it (hope my neighbors do to!). Thank you for doing such an excellent job.

James S.
Gary, Thanks a lot for your help and for rushing our order to us. We are really pleased with everything!

Thanks again, Namaste,

HI - A couple of weeks ago I ordered a drum for a friend as a retirement gift.  I had a magical, well, profoundly spiritual experience because of the drum.  (Suffice it to say).  

Anyway, I HAD to order one for myself and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Long story - but thanks to you and your drums, there is life in my life and I now believe in (for lack of a better word) god.

THANKS GARY !!!
Vivian

Gary,
 I was pleasantly surprised to see that the drum I ordered for my wife's birthday arrived on time.  I know that I had placed my order late and that you stated that you would try to have it painted and delivered on time.  

Well...when I arrived home, my wife was beaming that her gift had arrived and we both are very pleased with the quality and sound.  Thanks again for the great customer service and the great quality of product.

 
Best regards,
Rene
Hello Living Drums,
I just want to say I am so impressed and pleased with my new 10" moose hide drum!  The painting of the corn spirit was superb.  Also the rattle is incredibly beautiful as well.

I am very happy with my purchase and have shared your website with many in my drum circle.

Gary,
I got my Buffalo Skin Drum today. Its amazing.

Your lacing system is Awsome! SOOOO Beautiful!

Thanks for all your help, Im gonna have this drum a LOOOOONG time!
Blessings

Thank you for your prompt delivery! Both my 14-year-old son and his father are part of the Menominee Indian Tribe from Wisconsin and his father gave him your Warrior's Blend as a gift last year. 

When the package arrived today it was evident that my son felt incredible
pride in the quality of your products, and that a portion of your profits go
to a great cause. Thanks so much, we'll be recommending you to our friends and family.

Thanks again,

Just wanted to take the time to say a big "Thank You!" My custom-painted buffalo-hide Buffalo Drum is so very absolutely stunning and it not only feels so good to hold but also sounds so perfectly right. The artistry is simply gorgeous and I'm most pleased! Please send my best regards to Alan! 
BTW: Your abalone shells are naturally beautiful too & I just ordered more as gifts.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Most sincerely,
Kelly

Hello Gary,
Just wanted to let you know that I received the Drum today and was so happy with it.  The Wolf on it is just wonderful and the Drum has a really nice deep sound to it.  I am very pleased with it.
Again, very very pleased and will probably purchase from you again in the future.... Sincerely,
- Beverly Byrum
Dear Gary,
I am thrilled that you have my drum order -- and very much looking forward to receiving it -- and, of course, playing it. Your designs are spectacular!

I've just received my 13'' drum and I love it ! The thunderbird painted on it is very beautiful and the sound of the drum is great. Some friends of mine saw it and they were very impressed of the wonderful art work on the drum. Take care and continue your very good work !
