Drums speak the language of vibration that creates a unity of heart. One of our most popular drums is styled after the African Ashiko. "Ashiko" means freedom in Nigerian, and we feel that freedom is what they bring - freedom to let the Spirit move, to declaim the natural rhythm of the soul and to allow joy into our lives.
Drums provide a means of communication beyond words, connecting everyone to the deep rhythms of life that transcend all boundaries.
We honor the Native American belief that the drum echoes the heartbeat of the Earth. We offer our drums as instruments of peace, connection and reverence for the Earth and all beings on it. Many other peoples have celebrated the sacred nature of the drum. Our Irish Bodhran reaches deep into the roots of the Celtic tradition in that unity of language that the drums speak. BEAUTYEach of New World Drums has its own special beauty born of the combination of beautiful woods, careful construction and attention to detail. Our drums are objects of art as well as functioning musical instruments. The rich grains of each wood are lovingly brought forth with our own special finish, and then waxed to a shiny luster.SOUNDOur drums have 'Instant Slide Tuning' TM which gives a tremendous range of tone with only a few seconds adjustment. They have the finest sound quality available, plus they are uniquely adjustable to the sound range that most appeals to you. No difficult lacing patterns! And, there will never be an occasion where your drum can't be played because of humidity.STRENGTH AND WEIGHTOur drums are very light weight for their size, yet sturdy enough to go anywhere. Most drums range from 2-10 lbs. Play our drums in a cave, by a river, in a circle around a fire. They can easily adjust to any situation.MATERIALSNew World Drums are made with a base of laminated birch with mixed hard and soft wood accents in contrasting shades and patterns.
