I'm in Love!
|
I'm in Love! So, IKan__2u asked me in my post about my new drums if I had played my wolf drum and what I felt when I played it. Exact quote: "When Y  U hold this Drum ... what do YU feel from within it ?The maker of this Drum has instilled their Spirit*z ][ntention, it show*z in the art." First: This is the communication I received in response to questions prior to purchasing the drum: Thank you for your question on this drum – I am the artist and maker of this drum. As to your questions this is a working drum to be extraordinary in sound and beauty. It has a strong medium to high tone and pitch that has a ring tone to it when played at its rims with even fingertips or small striker. As the maker and artist I know all things I make do not belong to me, but are intended to find a lifetime with the right owner and stand up for a lifetime – to be handed down and on to the next person that will find the meaning and love in the beauty it holds – this drum is the very body of that idea. It was made in the memory of someone I once knew – she had the spirit of the wolf and I feel I have filled this drum with that animal spirit and a magic that the intended owner will find and use in sharing the sound, the beauty and magic with all those around them, friends, loved one, and those we have yet to meet. If this drum calls to you, then it is waiting for you to be the one it will pick, for while you think you found it, the truth is it has been looking for you……and is ready to return the love you will have for such a priceless item. I played it a few times since it arrived... tapping now and then, played it a bit in front of a neighbor (she thinks it has the best sound). Random playing. Yeah... it made noise. But tonight... TONIGHT.... I started out playing the djembe... rhythms, sounds.... I'm getting better  And more bold. Then something just said "I should play the wolf drum a bit too"Well, IKan__2u.... I have the answer for you!! What do I feel? What does it say to me? It is a good meditative drum. Sink into your thoughts and let it play. I discovered while thinking of one friend that he has his own "rhythm" that seems distinctly his. Then I let my mind wander and started thinking of me... a new rhythm emerged. Apparently I have my own rhythm as well. (Not sure I played it enough to remember lol. I've already forgotten but maybe it will come back to me) As my thoughts wandered new sounds emerged. Raindrops. Thunder. And then I heard it... the drum itself<b>... singing.... </font></b>Oh, how I wish it was Friday! And I could stay up all night playing. See if other friends have their own rhythm. If finding their rhythm requires knowing in person or if far away friends are welcomed in too. See if I can get *my* rhythm narrowed down lol. I also discovered it heightens my libido. Well... that could very well just be a drum thing. I move to drums, the bodhran can set hearts ablaze, doumbeks make the body shimmy and shake, drums are the heart-beat. Libido, heart-beats, life-blood all flow together... none could exist without the other. Yes... one can weave magic with a drum. At least within ones own self. Perhaps outside ones own self if the other parties are receptive. * * * Also, a friend pointed out tonight that it's the same as Harry Potter's Wand... "It chooses you, you do not choose it". Thinking about all the doumbek purchasing issues leading up to this point... Apparently not only did this drum choose me... but it's also quite adamant and tricky about it. haha.  |
