Custom-made drums and rattles are also availabe. This process consists of:
- One-on-one meditations and journey work to understand your needs and intentions, your story and how that would manifest within a new drum
- Personal journey-work from both parties with ongoing dialogue regarding the process
- The building of a custom drum (size, hide, hoop are all selected based on journey-work)
- Painting and custom work would also be included if instruction is received
- The “Story” will be written (possibly an illustration and poetry/prose and description)
- A Drum Blessing will be performed

Words are not sufficient
Wow. What a beautiful and soulful process. Words are hardly sufficient to describe how impressed I am with the Drum that Nate created for me. Neither the drum itself nor the process of its creation was what I expected, and both are perfect. It is obvious that Nate is a deeply talented artist and craftsman, and his talent is a beautiful complement to the inspired and sacred intent with which he creates.
