Drumfiire

Drumfiire Hand Crafted Drums is a handmade drum business owned and operated by Gary DeZarn in Ferndale, Washington. Making drums since 1988, Gary brings decades of experience and personal care to his craft, designing and building each drum frame himself. He uses locally sourced western cedar for the frames and typically makes drumheads from deer or elk hide, with buffalo hide available for an additional cost. Each drum is personally blessed with burning sage during its creation.

The online store offers Native American-style hand drums in sizes from 10 to 20 inches, with options that influence each drum’s tone. Larger drums generally produce a lower sound, which Gary prefers. Customers can also request deeper frames and choose octagonal designs. Drumfiire sells accessories including Native American drumsticks and rattles. The business also accommodates custom work, and customer testimonials describe distinctive designs, careful workmanship, and a straightforward purchasing experience. Gary’s approach emphasizes craftsmanship, respect for materials, and making each drum with care.
