Authentic Ilnu Drums – The Heartbeat of Mother Earth

Certified Authenticity & Origin:

Indigenous drums represent much more than an instrument: they embody the heartbeat of Mother Earth, the resonance of the living world, and the memory of the ancestors.

 

Each drum is handcrafted by Dave Verreault-Thisselmagan, a Certified Ilnu Artisan (First Nations, Canada) from a family of drummers. According to tradition, only bearers who have received the spiritual calling can make them. This guarantees a genuine, Ilnu certified creation.

Ancestral Craftsmanship:

Each creation is a unique work, imbued with respect, intention, and truth.

  • Made from Canadian deer hide and mounted on natural wood frames picked on the Nitassinan, these drums are designed according to ancestral knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

  • Their deep, vibrant, and soothing sound accompanies ceremonies, meditation, singing, and healing.

Our Drum Identity:

  • Natural drums reveal the purity of the material.

  • Dyed drums evoke the colors of the territory.

  • Hand-painted drums express spiritual visions inspired by animals and sacred symbols.

  • Custom drums are born from a unique intention, shaped with you.

In each creation, we find the strength of the territory, the wisdom of the gesture, and the presence of spirits.

These Indigenous drums are not mere objects: they are alive, carrying energy, guidance, and balance.

 

✨Each drum comes with its mallet and is signed by the artisan, guaranteeing an authentic, spiritual work rooted in the Ilnu culture.
