Painted Drums

This page features some of the painting I have done on drum heads. I do these in acrylic and it has been my experience that it does not scratch off unless you are really abrasive on the surface. I have my Ashiko drum head painted that I use and play hard on and it still looks great.

The work I have done on drums is personal, symbolic, one of a kind pieces. Some are used for spiritual work, others for display.

If you are interested in commissioning a painting on a drum head, please email: orders@dancingwolf.com for an estimate. Paintings start from $350.00, simple detail on a 12 inch hoop drum to a full detailed painting for $800.00 on a 16 inch hoop drum head. I can also paint 18 and 20 inch hoop drums from $950.00 to $1200.00. These prices include the drum or you can supply the drum, cost will vary depending on the drum.

Here's a sampling of some of the latest drum heads I have painted.

Acrylic on a synthetic drum head. This was a challenge since I had to treat it with allot of workable fixative just to get the paint to stick. It plays great but time will tell how the painting holds up. In the collection of Donna Ryan
