So here's the story...

Once upon a time, someone saw a roughly 200-year-old, cherry wood wine cask and pondered, 'I could make a drum with that!'

They disassembled the cask, saved the middle section, separated the slabs, and glued them back together -- and for whatever mysterious reason added some holes and nuts welded to steel plates. A camel(?) hide was then stretched and strung upon the drum and finally secured with furniture tacks like a DIY taiko drum.

We do not know who played that drum or for how long but the day came when they had to move and leave their drum behind.

The landlord, at a loss of what to do with such a colossal instrument, offered it to the Craigslist Nation for no cost and warned it would soon become kindling if not claimed.

Enter Bradley Jensen, who could not see something so sacred go to waste. With the help of a dear friend, he managed to lift it into his pickup truck and haul this treasure home. Two years of sitting in the garage passed until another dear friend, Dale Green, came along and took on the enormous task of restoring and building it honorably. Much perseverance, tender-loving care, good medicine (and a large sum of money) was given to this endeavor.

It has yet to be confirmed but is quite possibly the world's largest, two-headed, buffalo hide, Native American ceremonial drum.

Four Eagles Thunder Drum, named in honor of big brother Paul Green, has the rumbling and roaring voice of an oncoming storm. Three massive buffalo hides -- one for each head and one for the lacing alone. Four eagles face the Four Directions, wearing the four colors.

The stand or cradle is 8' wide, the head is 5'10", and the widest part or belly is 6'8".

Now all this magical drum needs is a loving home! AHO
