Professional drum construction workshops. Rich Spirit has been making drums for 13 years and has been presenting workshops for over 10. He has lovingly refined his training so that any one is able to complete a high quality Ashiko Drum of their own. The making of a drum includes hands on craft skills, including knot tying, use of wood working tools, heading the drum, and achieving a quality sound in your drum. All tools and materials will be provided, all you need to do is show up and be prepared to work. Don't wear your finery as you will be amidst wood chips and glue, and be sure to bring your strength as once we are ready to tune, you will need your vigor to tighten the drum. If there is an issue with a physical disability, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate you. The entire workshop will develop your love for drumming as well as your appreciation for the drum you build.
Hundreds of folks are impressed with the quality drum they have made, look at these smiles or these new drum owners.
