MY DRUM BIRTHING DAY What can I say but a heartfelt thank you to Bearnumber9 who herald from Norfolk

Claire lead us through the most special day of ceremony and crafting as we birthed our deer skin drums using ethically and ecologically sourced Norfolk oak wood and deer skin. Emotional day for me once everyone had gone , as I connected with the spirit of the deer . A truly magical day on a personal level. E Elizabeth

Claire and Benny truly put their heart and soul into their drum work, and are amazingly intuitive. Guiding and sharing drums in a safe space honouring that each person has their own spiritual journey and connecting us to ancient sounds and rhythms that vibrate within and without, and can be personal but also universal. Beautiful. P. Cleary

"My drum is a regular companion after dark, I sit on the floor with the lights off

and she helps me just empty my head – I normally find it difficult to stop thinking

and find drumming very restorative, playing easily for a half-hour

with no concept of the passing of time.

It is as if you have given me a way into another world"

Anon

"The drum’s a Queen, a beaut.

She’s possessed of a clear bright sound,

rich and resonant."
