I have been making drums for awhile now and still love what I do. I get really excited, however when I get to try something new or different. I was asked by a guy who had purchased from me in the past if I could somehow honor the hiking trip his son took in the form of a drum. The ideas started flowing from each of us....inlays, colors, woods.....but we finally settled on the idea of the map drawn on the head of the drum. I had done art on drum heads before but never to this extent. I think it turned out pretty well and I had a lot of fun in the process. A new door opens for me in the custom made drum world.
