Hey guys, thank you for sharing this video. I'd always wondered how drums were being made... the most difficult part is getting the rounded wooden frame I guess. The finished instruments looks and sounds great! 👍👍

Thank you so much! Yes the curving of the wood was the challenge, next time we will use steam! 😂😂

[@Rick-if5zb]

The Vikings are coming...The Vikings are coming!!!!! You guys rule 🤘🤘👊👍🔥⚔️🥁⚔️🎶

Thanks Rick! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@Rick-if5zb]

[@rikijett310]

Excellent!!!! You could also make videos about how to make mallets and what you use to dye the rawhide.

[@DorothyPacheco-nr4oo]

Awesome work y'all put alot of work into them , they look absolutely beautiful, although those drums look heavy. Send me one for Christmas! Lol enjoy your holidays merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 to the both of you! I hope u do more music this upcoming new year! ❤❤❤

[@rettpratt4447]

You guys are freaking amazing!

Thank you! 🤘🏻🔥🔥🤘🏻

[@lesliemills8340]

Hail brothers Norse I’m in the process of this crafting from the very first part of the process and you have shown me exactly the things I didn’t know about making my blót drum as I have dreamed this many times and it’s finally underway this will be a great effort and process but by the Gods I thank thee and the sharing of this the drums are amazing hail the brothers awesome to share this

Thank you so much! We are glad you like our work! Good luck on your drum build, and stay tuned for our next music video! Coming this week! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@alexwalker3060]

This is so amazing to see!! I wish we had more stuff like this where I am! AWESOME WORK!

Thank you!! 🤘🏻⚔️⚔️🤘🏻

[@javieravergara3737]

wow, amazing!!. greeting from Chile. Here, far far away, our ancestors had a simil of that drum, it is call "Kultrun" . Mapuches were belic people too, they even stop Incas and spanish conqueres. I belive some "sounds" are standar for war at all humankind wen you search about it. Mapuches has a simil of warhorn too, called "longin trutruca" and the "kull kull". Is allmost like "war" is spelled with the same sound araound the world

Thank you! We are glad you enjoy our work! We agree! The primal instrumental sounds of war are very similar across all peoples! The message is power. Thank you for sharing your cultural history on your ancestral warrior instruments, very interesting! ⚔️⚔️

Wow, beautiful work!!!! Edit: Your replying to comments is appreciated.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy our work! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@nightprowl2000]

Wow, very cool! Excellent craftsmanship and video. I'm fascinated.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy our video!

[@CrimFerret]

I love that you make your own instruments. I don't imagine there are a lot of sources for drums like you play even if you wanted to buy them. I'm half tempted to take a class at the local community college just to get access to a wood shop so I could try making my own tagelharpa. Half the fun would be the rest of the class and the instructor trying to figure out what the heck I was making.

Thank you! Good luck on your project! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@MountainWomanMedicine]

Beautiful work guys! And welcome to KZbin! 🐾❤️🐾

[@primexqu3957]

Hello from snowy Russia! Well done, guys! I Think it's gonna be a good start for your new channel. I wish u good luck! And waiting for your next video. PS: I came here from Harp Twins channel, btw.

Thank you for supporting our channel! We have more music and craft videos in the works as we speak. 🤘🏻⚒⚒🤘🏻

[@BalrogWhips]

Well done, you should invest in a australian knife to make your laces, it's what I use for my whips, it's really more easy with that then a cissor.

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

Fascinating! I have drums that are like this but a little smaller. I can see why they are expensive - so much work and time involved!

Thank you! Yes! it takes a few days to get them all put together! Glad you enjoyed our drum making video! ⚔️👊🏻👊🏻⚔️

[@Athos42]

Let me the first one to welcome you guys to KZbin and congratulate you to your new video! ⚔👍 Really cool how you did that drums! I wish I had so much skilled craftsmanship, I'm more of an electronics guy. I enjoy videos that how old medieval things are re-made today, like weapons, armor, or in your case drums. 👍 Sending greetings from good old Germany! 👋

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback! We have more content brewing as we speak! Stay tuned!

[@pepe-dt8of]

i wish i could hear the sound of the drum tho kinda dissapointed lol

[@edenthedrummer]

The ending is the best haha!

Thanks!

[@reactionx1041]

Wow 🤩 you guys are really living the dream huh 🤩

[@annabellebalcazar5088]

Miss you guys very much 💜🌹

[@fridaalbinsson4211]

Awesome!!

Thank you!! 🤘🏻⚔️⚔️🤘🏻

[@jro341]

Thanks for building the drum I bought from you. It’s back in Cedar City Utah, so I have to drive back to get it. I have pictures of it and heard it. Sounds good. Thanks.

You are welcome! We are glad you like it! Remember you can alter its tuning with humidity. If it feels like the skin is super tight, loosen it with misting it with water, and this way you can achieve different tones. Also, we send out our drums dry, but from time to time coat it with a natural oil to help preserve its life and maintain flexibility 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@jro341]

@ thank you for the heads up. My girlfriends mom played it for me and it sounds good. We live “off grid” in Arizona and go back and forth to Utah. Really cool country here. We will be going to Sedona soon because there is a spring there. We get water there.

[@Eldrvak]

Fuck yeah, did you 2 happen to see Heilung's recent blood ritual drum? Absolutely stunning.

Have not seen it!

[@Eldrvak]

@ Where the fuck have you beeeeen???? Dudeeees. All kidding aside, definitely look it up on Fb where they shared the process.

[@Trollkvinnen]

That is totally what i thought about when watching this video, Heilungs blood drum!!

[@LornaGreenway]

Beautiful!

[@kyleclements5565]

one of these times i'd love to see a viking guitar made fender style

[@kenrowland7864]

True Alphas....LOVE IT 👍👍👊

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

“Alpha” is actually not a concept that applies to humans and human relationships, if you consult contemporary science. It was coined for use with wolfpacks but since the lessons learned was from a pack in captivity and did not describe what actually took place in the wild, it was abandoned. However apparently the concept was so appealing to some people, for whatever reason that they started using it about people in a sort of everyday folk manner. Don’t kill the messenger now, Ken =.O

[@ricardomlm]

Well🤘Done! Great Logo! Great Sound!

Thank you!

[@overthemountain1009]

Very cool, i like creative things like this

Thank you! Glad you enjoy our new video. We have more art, music, and cool projects on the way! ⚒⚒

[@kasmanmahone3726]

Okay Volfgang Twins Brothers

[@LilyoftheValeyrising]

Wow that was amazing! Great work. I’m subscribed! I’d love to see you make a Carnyx trumpet if possible. It’s fascinating to me.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy our videos!! A Carnyx would be awesome to make, we may have a go at it! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Athos42]

@ Building a Carnyx would really be a great endeavor. I've seen an experimental archeologist on a medieval fare who played one. Boy, those are LOUD! 😊He explained that there were only pieces of five Carnyces found this far, none was complete, so it's very difficult to recreate the instrument. This would really be something! 👍👍

@@Athos42 Very interesting!! We may have to tackle that one!! ⚔️👊🏻👊🏻⚔️

[@weapingtears]

Nice work, but i wish that you show us more from the raw sound of the drums…

Check out our music videos for the drum sound 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@nikserg4493]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@boobookitty6660]

So you guys are craftsmen also I fucking love it so awesome man maybe I should go read your bio or something lol I don't usually look into shit unless it pleases my simple mind lol but seriously tho much respect 🤘🤘

Yes! We build our instruments and also throw axes! Glad you enjoy our work! We have a really nice project coming. We are going to build a fire breathing dragon head for our ocean row boat! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@benjaminstarkweather4955]

🐺Aaaooooooooww ow ow ow ow aaoooooooowww🐺🔥🔥🔥

[@monicashellabarger6249]

Those look great. What did you use to stain the hides?

Thank you! We used various leather dyes to color the skins. ⚔️👊🏻👊🏻⚔️

[@kenrowland7864]

REAL MEN...Full On BadAsses !!!!! 👌😯

[@sjangvill]

I like your humour

Thank you!

[@Xacute00]

You guys are fire bugs lmao love it one time I accidentally set myself on fire doing that with gas when I was a kid it was lit XD… all jokes a side I did set myself on fire. I still play with fire so fun :)!

😂😂Wow! You don't fear fire! Thats good! We were wild when we were kids too, living out in the woods for days and days by fire while hunting and tracking! And yes the discovery of using gasoline to help a bon fire.....well needless to say we had some fun! We have some fire stunts coming up soon that you may enjoy! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@Xacute00]

@ Hell yeah can't wait to, love your music I am Norse Gaelic so it connects me with my ancestors so many thanks! Also, I'm from northwestern Canada and we are 4 hours from any city so I grew up in the bush on deer meat and moose. One time I was dirt biking in the back 40 and I ran into a bear it was a slippery wet day out so my bike slipped as I braked and my bike fell on top of me and I couldn't move it I was 11 at the time. The bear was huge and pitch-black even its eyes and it lumbered toward me about 15 ft away getting ready for a snack and smacking his lips. So I did the only thing I could and revved my engine spinning my bike around on me, digging my elbow into the ground till there was bone showing. It scared off the bear and I was able to race out of there popping a wheelie with the adrenaline going through my veins I felt amazing! Hope you enjoyed the story, keep them amazing songs coming and as my clan would say BUIADH NO BAS (Conquer or Die)!!!

[@connorjones9116]

8:41 what is that around the tops of the branches? I’d like to make me some of these but I don’t know what’s wrapped around the branch?

We use rawhide lace! It is malleable when wet, and shrinks when it dries, binding everything together. Hope this helps! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@connorjones9116]

@ oh I know about the rawhide lace, I’m talking about the grayish poofy stuff on the end!

[@user-ni5fe2sy6m]

[@Magilla.Guerrilla]

What paints did you use to make the blood? I want to do this with a drum that I ordered from a medieval site.

We used rawhide dye 🤘🏻🤘🏻 You could make a dye from berries and blood, however the color won’t be as vibrant. Whatever suits your taste! Good luck with your project, sounds cool! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥

[@Magilla.Guerrilla]

@ Thanks bros, Me and my wife want to make ritual music where I'll definitely putting my Galdr poems to work, she got her self a bohdran, I recently got a 13x19 period double headed medieval drum. I originally wanted a floor tom at that size, but this drum that I found will definitely do the job. If you're interested once we get some practice and things going, I'll even send you a sample.

[@ItsRaitisLV]

6:07 looked like Yggdrasil

Thanks, glad you noticed!

[@Trollkvinnen]

What kind of wood are you using for the frames?

We went with birch 🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥

[@Trollkvinnen]

@ Awesome, thank you. You guys have amazing talent! I love your work.

[@Benttimaki]

Everyone knows that Vikings used treated lumber purchased at corporate chain hardware stores

[@constanza881974gmail]

​@@Benttimaki you're an ass

[@johnperry947]

Pine sticks with fur overlapping a canvas and leather bound core 🤘🏻🤘🏻
