We provide a FREE DRUM STICK (also called drum mallet or drum beater) with every drum. The free stick is our basic stick shown below, a $20.00 value. You can also upgrade to a native american drum mallet with a padded and fringed leather handle or even a custom beaded stick.
Drums sticks, especially custom beaded sticks make wonderful gifts for friends in your drum circle!
Every custom stick is beaded using the peyote stitch, applied one bead at a time. We charge $40.00 per inch of beadwork. Please note that Cheryl has won competition ribbons for her beaded drumsticks, so you are assured of the finest quality beadwork. Beaded drum sticks take 1-2 months for completion due to our schedule. Call to discuss bead colors, patterns and designs.
We also carry powwow drum sticks, build from fiberglass rods. Powwow drum beaters are custom built so we will ask for special measurements to make sure your stick is a perfect fit. Powwow drum sticks come with fringed leather handle and a semi-soft head, which we think sounds best on the drum. Powwow sticks: $60.00 each.

Chose Leather Color for Beaded Drum Stick
POWWOW DRUM STICK
Crafted from a fiberglass rod for flexibility, this BEATER has a leather covered and fringed handle and padded beater head. This is the preferred stick for our larger powwow drums. If beaded, I add all beadwork near the handle of powwow sticks. The stick is often used to tap the drum (during Grass Dance songs), and these are czech glass beads, which will break.

This powwow drum stick set is styling! The rich color of the tobacco leather makes this a preferred stick by drummers. The stick bag is hand punched and sewed with leather. The bag has an easy pull closure and looks like an historical quiver bag when thrown over the shoulder. Leather fringe completes the bag's "native" look.
