As I teach you how to physically create your drum, I also talk about the drum; when to use it, drum etiquette and technique, styles and songs. I like to meet with workshop participants after the drums are ready in order to wake them up. It takes about 5 days for a drum to dry, in which time it should not be played. Rick McBride is mixedblood Tsalagi (Cherokee) who has walked the Red Road for over 30 years. He was named Cante Lute (Schan-tay Lou-tuh) by the spirits through his sundance chief, which means Red Heart. He is a sundancer and has been traditionally trained and authorized to lead ceremonies, such as inipi (purification lodge), prayer with the Canunpah (Pipe), drum healing and so forth. He has been publicly teaching these ways for some ten years now. To register with materials deposit, visit: www.mixedblood.info (https://mixedblood.info/drum workshop.htm)
