WHY BUY FROM The Drum People?
First, we are committed to Green, ecological methods to build our Native American drums. We do not cut down any trees. We do not poison the earth with chemicals from our rawhide.
If you compare Native American drums, you may notice that many of them seem to look alike. Our drums look different. Wonder why? We build our own hand drum hulls from RIVER-RECOVERED CEDAR. We build hand drums, sweat lodge drums, and powwow drums. We offer each type of drum in several standard sizes, or we can build a native american drum to your custom size specifications.
We do not buy one-piece plywood hoops for $5.00 from a supplier and simply stretch a hide over the hoop (and make a huge profit). We do not use salad bowls for our drums. We do not cut down new trees to build our native american drums. We painstakingly cut, plane, hammer and sand every stave of RIVER-RECOVERED CEDAR to make each hand drum, sweat lodge drum or powwow drum unique. From the sawmill to the shipper, your native drum is handled by Keith and Cheryl, The Drum People, in a loving, respectful way.
Some people call us tree-huggers. We call it Respect for Mother Earth. We invite you to become a partner in our recyling efforts. We believe that native drums should be sacred instruments - from their construction in Keith's hands, to resting in your hands, where they will carry your songs and prayers to Creator.
All native drums come with a free drum stick.
All powwow drums come with a FREE STAND.
We offer beautiful unique drum bags, with leather fringe, crafted from durable Native American print fabrics.
We build the only leather drum bags on the market, by hand, punching holes and cutting lace, to sew them.
Second, we are committed to promoting Native American culture. Making drums is not a job, it is a CALLING for us. It is our MISSION in life.
We donate drums to Native Americans in prison so that they can practice their spiritual ceremonies. By doing this, we hope that they will allow Creator to guide them back to the good Red Road.
We donate drums to schools to help children learn about the REAL Indigenous People of this country, rather than allowing them to learn only from the biased stereotypes of "Indians" portrayed on television and movies.
We partner with wildlife rescue efforts to protect the animals that were once destroyed and on the brink of extinction because of historical careless and greedy business practices of settlers who invaded Indian country.
We sponsor cultural events, like our annual Hand Drum Competition, to showcase the talent of Native American singers and drummers. We hope to educate the public about the Indigenous People and Culture of the United States by suporting the beauty of their traditions and songs. We also help sponsor Native American drum teams so that they can play at powwows and share the culture with the general public.
We are just beginning to partner with groups of caring people who have found creative ways to use drumming to improve the health and quality of life of our Elders, and people with diseases like autism and alzheimers.
When you buy a drum from The Drum People, you support the causes we support. We are not a shopping cart company with the only goal of making money. We are
people who want to
CHANGE THE WORLD!

The Drum People Sponsor Native American Hand Drum Competitions
Native American people have supported us for years and years at powwows. Their love and support made us who we are: The Drum People. We wanted to give back to the Native American community. We have had this dream of bringing the hand drum tradition back to the Southeastern part of the United States because this tradition seems to be lost here. We have been hosting informal hand drum competitions for four years. In 2008, we finally made our dream come true and sponsored an official hand drum competition with $1000 prize money and free drums for the winners.
