 16'' Remo Buffalo Style Frame Drum - NON-leather
** completed ** ready to ship **
Your drumming meditations, prayers, chants and ceremonies can be played without the cruelty of dead animal skin. Embrace COMPASSIONATE DRUMMING ~ The marriage of art, sound, rhythm...a gentle soothing tone or bold voice - it is your choice. *NON*leather Frame Drums painted with professional artist oils by artist Karrel Christopher. Celebrating the elements of nature & honoring its special animal beings with spiritual joy.
For new commissions, I have two styles of quality REMO Frame Drums available for my custom designed and painted creations. The classic Buffalo Style Frame Drum 3 1/2'' deep...or... the newer Fiberskyn Frame Drum 2 1/2'' deep - in diameters of 14'', 16'' or 22''. Both are NON-leather.
The surface of these drums are a dream to paint on - allowing for beautiful detail and durability. You can drum to your hearts content knowing that no animal was butchered for these drum heads. And happily the synthetic drum head is more tone stable in various humidity and temperatures than animal skin drums. Every drummer I have spoken with compliments their quality and rich tones! There are so many ways to create pleasing sounds on these frame drums. They may be played for musical enjoyment, mediation and ceremony with a soft mallet provided. Play with your hands without jewelry and avoiding sharp nails. More bell like tones by striking the rim and bottom edge with your fingers and palm. Call to great spirit with love, beauty and compassion --and enjoy fine art in your sanctuary space and drumming circles.
Please feel welcome to contact me about commissioning your unique drum.

CHEETAH 4 ~ Original Oil Painting


































Cheetah Lady ~ Guided by Sky & Earth Spirits
by artist © Karrel Christopher
Original oil on canvas painting 18" x 36" inches
~ available for purchase ~
The 16th work in my series of Big Cats and my 4th Cheetah painting.  My first three Cheetahs were special commissions. In this fourth work, I wanted to play with a more fanciful style ~ celebrating a mystical connection with the Earth, elements and life.  The butterflies and beetles included are indigenous to Kenya where many cheetahs live.  I deeply admire the dignity, beauty and wisdom of animals ~ and feel they have much to teach us.  The natural world can inspire, calm, heal and enlighten us, if we are open to its magic.  Hopefully people and the big cats will find more respectful and responsible ways of coexisting.  As with all beings, they deserve respect, compassion and protection. Create a world respectful, just, safe and joyous for everyone.

SUMATRAN TIGER ~ New oil painting

SUMATRAN TIGER ~ Panthera Tigris Sumatrae
original oil on canvas ~ 11" x 14" ~ © Karrel Christopher

The Sumatran tiger as its name suggests is found only on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.  It is the smallest of the tigers alive today - a Sumatran male will measure an average of 2.4m from its nose to the tip of its tail and weigh between100-170kg.  
Sadly, like all tigers-- the Sumatran is critically endangered because of poaching and habitat destruction there are as few as 350 left in the wild today.
Please protect our precious wildlife before it is too late.
