I know you have seen this guy at the drum circle, I have!
He is the guy that walks into the circle,
straps on his drum and changes the sound from a basic pulse
to music that sends the dancers flying.
Other drummers crowd around him as he plays that Jimbay like it as a full orchestra.
Dancers prance before him as if filling themselves with his rhythm
– yet he seems unconscious of the fact he is drawing so much attention,
caught in a wave of music himself.
I saw him too…

Drummer Amulet

Drummer Amulet

In my attempt to capture the moment in a tiny piece of jewelry
I created this three dimensional sculpture of the Drummer Amulet
is only one and a half inches tall.
I tucked a lock of hair behind his head to create a bail
so you can wear him or hang him on your drum.
His hands are in the midst of playing a roll as his palms
stroke the goatskin drum head,
invoking the sound of the drum circle.

This amulet is the first of many tiny drum circle drummers,
dancers and guardians,
each of the same scale,
all three dimensional sculptures,
all may be worn as amulets or charms on a drum
marking a particularly good drum circle or as a dedication to music itself.

This tiny drum is perfect for the drum enthusiast who wants a very subtle charm.
Only a quarter inch tall,
this tiny Djembe holds the texture of the big ones:
wood, tiny ropes and a drum head being played by very small hands.

Djembe Dangle

One of the playing hands resolves into a loop for hanging on a chain,
cord, may be tied to your drum as a reminder of the Rhythms of the Drum circle,
a favorite event or perhaps woven into your dreads,
braids or other hair ornaments.
This tiny Djembe Dangle is available in Silver and Bronze.
Gold prices upon request.
