Great video. Good information. Just got my first drum. Have a Question please - when you take the drum back inside to dry, are you leaving it wrapped in a towel or open to the air? How do you place it/set it for both sides and top and bottom to dry? Thanks

Thank you!

This is great I'll be using Aztec seeds for my rattle ty!!

Does this oiling also help prevent the drum from getting moist from for instance evening damp when being outside? Or when it rains and you're camping? And what about the drumframe? Does that need oiling too?

Thank you very much😊

I have learher, am i able tonuse leather instead?

Will oiling a drum, help retighten the ripples on a drum?

Very ❤ cool I love it 🎉

I will be using these songs in my shamanic circles in Florida. Thank you my brother 💛⚡️🌄

Beautiful 😍 listen on repeat ❤

good tutorial ❤

I just made an elk skin drum at a workshop. They dyed the skin with beet juice before bringing the skin to the workshop, not sure if that is important to know. The skin developed a sort of salty looking crusty residue in one area (only on the face of the drum) the first night, while sitting drying. The people that led the workshop don't know what it is and aren't offering any help (extremely frustrating, I spent so much money and energy making this drum, I am just so sad). I can send pictures. I'm just hoping that you have some advice of what I can do to remove this. I haven't tried anything at all out of fear. Thank you so much for any help you might be able to offer!!!

Hello. I don’t like the karma attached to animal products and wondering if you make non-animal product drums please for purchase? Thankyou🙏🕉️🙏

Wears t-shirt “There is No Planet B” - 👍, 24:43 drinks water from plastic bottle - 😲

Where can you purchase rawhide that doesn't come in a kit?

What was the name of the material you used for stuffing the rattle? It sounded like kapok!

Thank you Jonathan, l was searching online to see how to make a rattle for my Seidr practice, and there you were. I will be making my first today, my guides have been trying to get to do this for a while now!

My favorite one you have posted

The songs in this one makes this my favorite video of yours. Beautiful ❤️

Thank you. An elk skin shaman drum I purchased recently has this buzzing sound going on (even with proper tension from sun etc) like there’s excess material somewhere or something. I hope oiling might help this

I love these & come back to them regularly. I hadn't listened in a while and couldn't find the videos anywhere because I couldn't remember your channel name, I'm very happy I found it again. Please consider doing more of these!! I can't find anything else like it on youtube. I love the constant beating for a while and the contrast with the quiet after, it's very peaceful and hand drums are so beautiful sounding. It truly puts you into a trance-like state

Just brilliant...

Thanks so much for sharing. So helpful

Just finding these videos as I have ordered a drum kit from Heron Drums UK. Loving the videos from Northern Ireland.

Wow you can feel the 2 way communication 😮

Do you also need to do this if your drum has hair?

Thank you for showing how to do it. Most people say don't do with your medicine drumit but I always thought it is strange as it done with African drums. I used shea butter and my drum is even more beautiful than before. Thanks.

I just came across this!! I love everything about this!! How often do you do a live drum circle?

Hi, I’m sorry to ask for an out of topic question. I believe I left my drum on a damp grass, although it’s in it’s bag/ case, still the moisture got in and the drum skin/ hide is “loose” and sounded “dead”. Is there anyway to fix it? Is it still fixable? Apologies, for the dumb question from a first time owner. Thank you, much love.

There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.

Hi are these still running this year?

I am an instrument builder. Thanks for sharing. What brand is the punch? I live in the US Thanks for you reply in advance

Fantastic

Hello I have just found your channel. Ive had my drum a few years now and I am looking forward to enjoying more videos from you.

sweet loop trick, tyvm.

Thank you so much for this amazing video!

Could you let me know the brand/model of hole punch you used please?

Little late, but gotta ask - where did you get the shirt with the Ogham??

Thank you for sharing - drum makers told me not to oil but I had always the intuition to oil it slightly for the same reasons you mentioned - what do you think about beeswax mix like for saddles

The method you used for rolling the thread was very useful. Helped me for making a drum beater but also it was helpful for rolling leather on other stuff too. Thank you

i have bought an siberian drum from the altai region, the drum skin is goat and i asked the store how can i take care of the drum but he told me not to use any oil or anything. now i'm a bit unsure if i should oil it or not

Fabulous

Thanks💙

Thank you for the great video and info 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

You have such cool t-shirts

Excellent thank you. I'm watching via KZbin but all of the energy and spirit of last night was present throughout.

I had an amazing journey with my new drum 🙏🏼 Thank you ❤

I have a hairy goat skin drum do i need to oil it as well? I’m not sure because it has hair on it

thanks

My drum has string laces on the inside. Do we oil them as in the video?
