Unique Hand-crafted Shaman Drums
Made with love and care in Lapland.
Our workshop is nestled in Savukoski, Finnish Lapland, where the breathtaking landscapes and the rhythm of changing seasons inspire our craft. Here, we create our magical drums that resonate with extraordinary sounds.
Every drum is lovingly hand-made, using birch plywood for the frames and the finest Finnish reindeer leather for the hides. We are committed to ecological practices, striving to be organic and to utilize the natural resources that surround us. This dedication not only reflects our values but also ensures that every drum is a sustainable choice.
Our drums serve a multitude of purposes—from making music to facilitating healing and meditation. We believe that there is a perfect drum for everyone, and perhaps yours is already waiting for you in our shop. Each drum is crafted with care, ready to accompany you on your personal journey of discovery and expression.
Thank you for visiting us. Together, let’s celebrate the power of sound and connection!
The Artisan behind the Drums
The director of Rumpu-ukko and the creator of these special drums is Sari Autere.
I stumbled into the world of craftsmanship by what some might call chance. My first encounter with these enchanting instruments was at a spiritual gathering nearly 20 years ago, where I experienced the empowering, healing, and soothing effects of their sound. It was a moment that ignited a deep desire within me to explore this magic further.
Determined to create my own drum, I discovered a profound joy in the creative process. As my skills blossomed and my collection expanded, people from all walks of life began heir own drums. Inspired by this connection, I founded my company, Rumpu-ukko—meaning “Drum Man” in English—dedicated to sharing the beauty of these instruments with others.
Each time I craft a drum, I feel a thrill of anticipation as I witness its unique character emerge. What kind of soul and sound will it possess? Who will be its new guardian? Like a proud mother, I send each drum off into the world with hope that it will bring as much joy, insight, and happiness to its new owner as it has brought to me.
