The buffalo dancer on the 16” Lakota style hand drum celebrates the gift of the buffalo with gratitude and honor. The buffalo included in the scene feels the beat, the excitement…rhythms of the heart transfer to the beat of the drum. Its vibrations help tune into the natural frequency of the earth, connecting to all that is.
Although a drum is meant to be played, this one is designed primarily for artistic expression.
Drum maker: Suzie Two Socks, Wood River, IL
