Holly Drum Beater

Our drum beaters are handmade with individually selected and cut pieces of Holly wood, with a wool stuffed leather beater head

The Holly

The Holly is sourced from near Drumkeeran, Co. Leitrim, Ireland, within walking distance of ancient sacred sites. An offering is given to the trees for each piece that is cut and prayers are sung to the forest.

Holly symbolises protection, rebirth, strength, and authority. It is associated with warding off negativity and safeguarding against malevolent forces. Holly's evergreen nature represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, while its resilience embodies the ability to endure challenges. Additionally, Holly is revered for its association with leadership and nobility, symbolizing wisdom and dignity. Overall, Holly holds significant symbolism in Celtic culture, representing protective energies, the eternal cycle of life, resilience, and leadership qualities..

Sustainability

The wood for this beater stick is gathered by hand, with prayer and ceremony and offerings to the land. We are responsible in our harvesting, making sure that the tree and the forest can continue to thrive. The beater head is crafted from leather offcuts, so colours may vary slight from the picture, and filled with wool. All of the materials used in the crafting of the beaters is honoured during the process of being made, and the beater is blessed with incense to welcome it into being once it has been made.
