big Powwow - Motherdrum high, Ø 90cm
Large assembly drum - high ring
Traditional construction - regional cattle hide
Come together. Drums for mother earth. As steady as the heartbeat. Goes in unison and synchronicity - giving back with thanks. Your drum is your vehicle for contact with the world of "not-knowing", the time before and after life, that which is greater than us. The cow represents the strength of the buffalo, bison or the European species of bison. The hide is particularly thick and robust.

Playing style
When drumming for long periods of time, a trance-like state is achieved, which serves to connect to other states of consciousness and for communication within the circle and group. The player traditionally builds the mallet himself. Ritual drumming is not about drumming with particular virtuosity, as is the case with frame drumming, but rather about synchronized, monotonous drumming. Universities have studied the effect of monotonous rhythms and discovered a change in brain waves and states of consciousness. If we drum to the rhythm of our heartbeat or running, we can do this for quite a long time without exerting much energy. At North American powwow and rodeo festivals, the drum is played continuously for the entire time (a week or more) , day and night. In this way, the energy and purpose of the festival lasts for the entire event.
