Cedar & Hide Traditional Drums & Rattles |
Biography |
Gary Dezarn has been making drums since 1988. Beginning as a hobby, drum making has become a way of life for Gary and something he is passionate about. Gary says, “I love making drums and hopefully I can pass along that love and passion in every drum I make. I bless each drum by burning sage during the process of making it.” Using Western Cedar, a light yet very strong wood he sources locally in Washington state, Gary miters sections of the wood, biscuit joins them, glues, and then sands the edges to a nicely rounded shape. Gary typically uses deer and elk hides; buffalo is also available. “I lace the drum loosely so when it dries, it won’t be too tight. A tight drum will give a higher pitched sound. Usually the larger the drum, the lower the tone of the drum. I prefer my drums to have a lower tone.” |

Jacob's Treehouse |
|
|
30 years ago in the sleepy town of Silver Hawk a brother and sister disappeared without a trace. A young boy named Jacob begins having dreams, a dark figure walking away with two children holding hands. Curious and confused his search leads him to a local bookstore owner who shares the same dreams. An old native man's haunting past pulls them all together as the trio embarks on a frightening journey towards the malevolent presence of The Dark One, dormant for 30 years but back again to play its twisted game. Combining magical realism, medieval fantasy and Native American oratory, readers will be captivated at this unique take on modern horror. 319 pages Available for Kindle on Amazon |
