Birch Drum Hoop

Stunningly made Birch drum hoops for drum making. Available in 14", 16", 18" and 20” diameter, 2.5"-3" in depth and the thickness of the hoops is 1cm. As they are all individually made items, there may be minor differences in diameter. 

These hoops are made from a single bent piece of solid Birch, with a solid join. The edges have all been rounded , with only minor finishing needed to protect drum heads from damage while making the drum.

The Birch Tree

The Birch tree holds significant symbolism in Celtic traditions, representing purification, new beginnings, and protection. Revered as the Lady of the Woods, the Birch embodies the energy of growth and renewal. Its bright white bark, known for its purity and resilience, symbolizes a fresh start and the shedding of old patterns. In Celtic mythology, the Birch is associated with the goddess Brigid, who represents healing, creativity, and inspiration. The Birch's branches were used in rituals and purification ceremonies to ward off negative energies and bring blessings. Additionally, the Birch is linked to the feminine aspect of the Triple Goddess, representing the maiden phase of life. It is also associated with the festival of Beltane, marking the arrival of spring and the awakening of the earth. The Birch tree's significance in Celtic traditions reminds us of the cyclical nature of life, the power of new beginnings, and the transformative energy of the natural world.

As such, the drum with a birch hoop works well for healing, for journeying and particularly a strong ally in moving forward in our own personal journeys.

Sustainability

All of the wood for our hoops comes from sustainably managed European forests, meaning that efforts are made to manage the landscape to prevent damage to eco-systems, watersheds, wildlife and the trees themselves.
