8 Painted Drums Fundraiser

UPDATE: All 8 drums have been painted & sold. You can find them all on my Blog tab, a post on each.

I’ve recently gotten back into drumming and I wonder why I ever stopped…

According to Dr. Christiane Northrup, drumming does a lot more than provide a way to access a Higher Power. 9 other health benefits she mentions are:

• Makes you happy
• Induces deep relaxation.
• Helps control chronic pain.
• Boosts your immune system.
• Creates a sense of connectedness.
• Aligns your body and mind with the natural world.
• Releases negative feelings.
• Puts you in the present moment.
• Allows for personal transformation.

Want to drum?

It’s been 8 years since I’ve painted a series of drums, so I was thrilled when the inspiration dawned on me after asking Source how to fund my summer 2023 Spirit Call to Italy.

I love sacred drumming and painting drums is just as fulfilling!

This 8 Painted Drums Fundraiser will help cover the costs of 2 months of room & board at the Ananda Italy ashram across the street from the Awakening Arts Academy, where I’ll be getting my Transformative Art Certification. Tuition is already paid.

I’ve ordered 8 Remo Buffalo drums and they’ll be here early in January for me to start painting.

Update: Sold out!

Not into drumming? Perhaps you know someone who is. Please share this with your friends & family.

The first to pay their $444 deposit will have first choice to Pick or Pass once I finish painting a drum.

If they Pick, they’ll pay their $444 balance and receive their energy-infused drum. Shipping & tax extra.

If they Pass, the next on the list of 8 gets to Pick or Pass.

It’ll take 2-3 months to finish all 8.

I trust that everyone will get the drum they are meant to have.

The short answer is that I received Guidance on this number and price.

The longer answer is that:

Eight (8) is a symbol of infinity and a constant flow of energy. Amongst other meanings, this angel number often relates to abundance and success in achieving goals. Perfect!

According to this website, the number 888 “may be one of the most positive angel messages you can receive… the endless flow of life, as well as the endless flow of abundance.”

When I read that, I felt reassured that $888 would be a good price for both you & I.

Your drum will be a 16″ Remo Buffalo drum, perfect for humid weather like in Newfoundland.

The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is inspired by the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Equipped with a rope handle and a single mallet. The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is manufactured with Remo’s Fiberskyn® drumheads and patented Acousticon® drum shells for enhanced durability in any environment. Producing the same tonal characteristics found on traditional wood shell drums, the standard Buffalo Drums feature excellent projection and enhanced low-pitched fundamentals.

Back in 2014, I painted 5 drums. These were 22″.

One comment some practitioners made was that they were a bit big/heavy for prolonged use. So this time, I decided to go for the 16″ ones.

Here are the 5 drums I painted back in 2014 to give you an idea of style. But what Spirit has in store for us during this co-creation process remains a mystery.

I’m sure I also have my friend Joanne Best to thank for fuelling this inspiration. She just moved to St. John’s, and has already led a few drum circles, using her red Communion Drum. It’s in excellent shape after many years of constant use in all indoor & outdoor weather. Being back in both their presence has been a blessing.

UPDATE: All 8 drums have been sold. Commissions are available for $1,111 CA. Contact me too enquire.

I appreciate your continued patronage in 2023.

Blessings & thanks,

Dominique
