From last Fall 2025 hunt here in Quebec we worked really hard to get our #1 butcher to VERY carefully skin the hides. And they are amazing..thick, huge and going to be some of the best drums we have ever made.

Black Bear drums are my absolute favourite drums to both pull and play. They are medicine drums that do amazing work and are very powerful. Bear skin is different than other hides. They are very patterned and dramatic. These bear are legally harvested for food as part of the Quebec spring bear hunt. Over the years we have developed an extensive network of butchers and each year get a few dozen hides. This week I dove into these hides and pulled a bunch of wonderful drums. Enjoy.

ALSO We are offering a promotion on our Drum Bags with Bear Drum. You can choose between our traditional Punched and laced bags or our new Patchwork Bags. Please let us know the style you want and colours in the ‘Detail your request’ box.

Every hand drum comes with a Drum Stick.

I am sorry, but we are not able to send Bear Drums to the States.

Product Description

We have been pulling drums for about 30 years and Bear drums are our absolute favourite drums to both pull and play. They are medicine drums that do amazing work and are very powerful. Bear skin is different than other hides. The surface is very patterned and dramatic with the pores on the skin very visible. Bear hide is very particular and hard to work with. The don’t stretch like other hides…they just need to be put together rather than pulled. These bear are legally harvested for food as part of the Quebec spring bear hunt. This week I dove into these hides and pulled a bunch of wonderful drums. Enjoy.

Every hand drum comes with a Drum Stick.

  The item I got surpassed my expectations. The gasp I gasped when I opened the box and removed the paper! This is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and it was a pleasure to engage with the staff via email when I had questions. I will treasure this piece and be returning for more!

  The custom painted horse in the spirit of my wife's late horse brings her joy every time she uses it. It's going on over a year old with heavy use and it looks as perfect as the day I unwrapped it from being shipped.

  I buy all the hide and fur I use for making moccasins from Tribal Spirit.  The quality is  amazing, and the variety is much appreciated.  I also really love the traditional medicines they have available. There is often a kind note in the delivery - handwritten telling you that they sent a little extra. 🥺 As a customer, I feel a connection with this store - from the descriptions they create to describe a colour of hide, to the small batch herbal remedies, to the very fast response and kind you’ll receive if you have a question.  10 stars.
