A sacred resonance in the colours of the North, designed to bring balance where silence awaits and to vibrate to the rhythm of the elements and the memory of the territory.
The Spirit of Creation
Each drum I create is crafted according to ancestral knowledge passed down within my family of Innu drummers. In my culture, only those who have received this spiritual calling can make them. I respectfully continue this tradition, crafting each piece entirely by hand here in Quebec. This dyed drum is made of Quebec deer hide and mounted on a natural wood frame harvested from Nitassinan. The hand-applied dye is inspired by the colors of the land—the red earth, the mossy forests, and the ever-changing northern light.

Ancestral Value and Vibration
Each drum is a living, unique work of art. Natural variations in the skin, color, and wood mean that no two pieces are alike. I tune them to accompany your chants, ceremonies, or meditation. The sound they produce is deep and resonant, filling the space with a soothing and enveloping vibration that embodies the power of the elements.

My signature as an artist – my creative process
Each drum (teueikan) I create is handcrafted using a profound, slow, and respectful artistic process. It's my signature. It's what makes my drums recognizable, consistent, and meaningful.
To make a drum, it's important to come from a lineage of drummers. I come from a family of drummers on the Thisselmagan side, according to my ancestors. This heritage is an integral part of my relationship with the drum and my way of creating it.
I have been making drums for several years. I take my time with each one, because the drum is one of the works that resonates most deeply with my Pekuakamiulnuatsh roots.
For me, making a teueikan is a true act of connecting with my ancestors. Each drum is crafted with respect, attentiveness, and presence.
I take the time to precisely stretch each skin so that, once dry, the drum can offer a vibrant, balanced, and lasting sound. This step is essential in the creation of the sound.
Each drum is hand-assembled to achieve the right tension, capable of accompanying singing, meditation, ceremonies, and personal practices.
A mallet (stick) is also made for each drum. Its creation is inspired by elements of the territory: fur, 100% genuine moose leather and natural materials, in the same spirit as all my works.
Each drum resonates with Mother Earth, and it is this relationship that often guides the final design, colors, and decorative elements.
No two drums are exactly alike. Each piece is unique.
