 It has been a very busy summer!  We have met some new friends and had a chance to catch up with some long time friends. The weather cooperated most of the time. There was that torrential rain incident in June that left us all scrambling in Peterborough at the Yoga Festival though.

I would have to say the highlight of the summer's activities for us was the Drumfest in Haliburton on Labour Day.  It is an annual event and they hold it in the park that is located by the Rails End Gallery and Art Centre.  Truly an event not to be missed if you are in the area.  There are community drumming circles, high energy music and dancing, costumes for all who wish to march in the parade! There were steel pan drums, a celtic band, traditional African music with dancing, calypso music and so much more! Here is a picture of the leader of the parade this year with John at our booth and John playing with Celtic Jam at the band shell in the park.   Maybe we will see you there in 2018!
Hello everyone!

Spring weather is here!  It has been warm enough to paint drums outside.  Such a pleasure to do the work I love and soak up the sun at the same time. This picture is a completed order we recently delivered.  PVC pipe drums, thunder tube, soup can shakers painted lovingly with intention to pass on good vibrations to children.
The African Talking Drums are examples of John's upcoming workshop.  PVC  and wooden.  The participants paint the design of their choice on the drum before the rings and ropes are installed.

We are thrilled to have a vendor booth at the Peterborough Yoga Festival this year.  The date is June 17.  If you attend, please drop by the booth to say hello or maybe we will see you at Kirtan!

If you have not already visited our workshop page on the website please do.  We have lots of workshops lined up for the next few months in different locations for your convenience.  If for some reason you cannot attend any of these scheduled workshops, perhaps you can design and schedule a workshop of your own with a group of your friends or colleagues.  Just get in touch with us to inquire about this option at [email protected].

Thanks for reading our blog!  Have a great summer!

    If you have a heartbeat you can drum!

    When John is not making drums he can be found working on a new prototype for his latest musical instrument made from recycled materials.
