Drumming with the Pow Wow Drum
We have a 40x42 pow wow drum, a 24" buffalo drum and a 22" cow drum along with numerous hand drums. We also have many cow and buffalo rattles that we take to events.
We in the western world have used the cow to nourish ourselves, with no thought of the service cow provided, in spite of our inhumane treatment of them. The cow, however, has been honored in the eastern cultures and they continue to come to us in unlimited numbers. They are the ultimate servant to humankind. They willingly sacrifice themselves for us. We are now given the opportunity to honor cow through the drum.
When buffalo were no longer honored, they stopped incarnating here. Now, as man remembers the special ness of the buffalo's gifts, they are increasing once again.
The drums and rattles of cow and buffalo were created to bring unity. Cow, as nurturer, has been joined by buffalo to show the way to abundance through prayer and the right use of our service.
The drum is the heartbeat of the Earth Mother. Always drum with intent. The energy is transported through the drum into the earth and is returned to us with our intent purified by the Earth Mother. The drum beaters bring forth the totem energies represented by the fur.
There are different traditions connected with the drum. Many traditions call upon the Ancients and Spirit helpers to join in prior to drumming. When the drumming is completed, a series of beats to let spirit know they are finished are used. The Lakota tradition is a 4 beat closure, while the Sauk-Suiattle use 8 beats to tell spirit that they may take their leave. Our tradition is but a single beat to honor those of the spirit world who have joined us and thank them for their participation.
Drum with respect for the energies and with love in your heart and drum your own tradition.
Heal the Heartbeat The Tape

Through the mists of time comes the heartbeat of the Earth Mother. The haunting drum beats she brings forth, transport us back to a simpler time. Allow your soul memory to revisit this time with those known as Condatatiata (Bev), Puchahawa (Randy), and Tatiacha (Engtovo)
Through our own personal Journeys within, we came to know a place of peace and harmony, known as Teotihuacan. From the depths of our souls came forth the heartbeat of the time, the heartbeat of the aboriginal people of central Mexico. Through these inner learning we have come to know that skin color and blood lineage are of no consequence to the soul. All that is true, is there within our hearts.
The tape was made in 1991 and contains 22 beats, 3 with chants that were given to us by spirit and earth. We started to teach some friends the beats & chants and they wanted us to make a tape so they could enjoy the drum between drumming events. We had no idea how we would do this, but spirit provided the way and the result is Heal The Heartbeat. It is not a "technical" tape. It was a one take wonder filled with heart. No extra charge for the wondrous imperfections!

Heal The Heartbeat
Hear the heartbeat of the mother when Great Spirit
walks the land.
Now her labor pains are starting and Great Spirit holds her hand.
White Buffalo Women walks together with Great Spirit for the plan.
Hear the Heartbeat of the mother, now Great Spirit walks the land.
Walk the path of love and beauty, aid the mother and the plan.
Stand as one with the Great Spirit now we all must walk our talk.
We are one now with the heartbeat when Great Spirit walks the land.
Hear the heartbeat of the mother oh Great Spirit bless this walk.
As her labor now progresses oh Great Spirit hold our hand.
All is different yet the same now as the mother labors on.
Mother bringing forth the Phoenix oh Great Spirit heal this land.
In a moment birth pangs over now the mothers pain is gone.
Phoenix flies free from the mother the Great Spirit holds her hand.
Now time is moving forward time that Phoenix takes her stand.
Time for living in the heartbeat aid the mother as we can.
Honoring truths of the Great Spirit walking freely upon this land.
Healing of the Phoenix mother this is the Great Spirit's plan.
