Why Are Our Bags Special?


You Design your custom hand drum bag.


Our drum bags are Unique and Classy.  Make a Statement!


These custom bags are fabric, NOT polyester. 


You can choose from a huge selection of Native American Style fabrics to customize your bag. 


Leather fringe sways as you walk. It is soft deer hide.


Antler button closure is sort of "fancy organic".

HERE'S WHAT FOLKS SAY ABOUT THEIR CUSTOM HAND DRUM BAGS

MY DRUM BAG IS A WORK OF ART!

 I love my drum and the bag is a work of art, too!!!!!  The colors, the designs really capture so much of the “southwest” Tribes I so love.   The colors really are perfect and the way you designed them creates a real sense of balance and harmony, the print with its turquoise, reds and blacks stands out so beautifully against the dark brown background.  And the fringe color adds a color note that picks up the background color in the print.  Honestly, Cheryl you picked just the right one for me!!  Elizabeth I. Lumbee Nation.

VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE ORDERING!

Dear Keith and Cheryl, I just received my drum bag for my hand drum. Cheryl, this bag is absolutely beautiful. You did a wonderful job and I could not be more pleased. On top of that, the bag was delivered much sooner than expected. The entire process of ordering the bag has been a very positive one. From discussing the specifications with you over the phone, the timeliness of delivery and then the quality and beauty of the bag itself. Thank you so much and may Creator’s blessings continue to fall on you. Terry Hackett

Linda Ponder. From Cedar Rapids. Iowa.

EXPRESSIVE CUSTOM DRUM BAG!

Received my 16” cedar hand drum in November and ordered a custom bag immediately after. The drum continues to amaze me - such beauty of craftsmanship and so much to say in a single beat. The custom drum bag is beautiful, expressive, and a joy to experience. They deserve each other. Thank you both for such spirited work and the pleasure of doing business with you. Catherine Summers

Cheryl is NOT Native American. These drum bags are "NATIVE STYLE" to comply with Indian Arts and Crafts of 1990, which requires truth in advertising.
