The Ancient Future Drums were born from a single conversation.
My sister Belinda and I were talking about the ocean drums I’d been making — double-sided, deeply resonant — and how their sound moved something inside us.
We wondered aloud: What else could live inside a drum?
What if the sound could be tuned not just to the ears, but to the energetic body?
What if we made something for the healers — the Kinesiologists, the energy workers, the ones walking between spirit and science?
That little idea began to grow.
It stretched roots down into the yellow golden sands of Sellicks Beach — Wita Wali, where freshwater springs up between the tides.
It reached out to the 18-meter granite statue of Quan Yin that blesses our bay with compassion. And it picked up whispers from the Dreaming of Tjilbruki, the ancestor whose tears shaped the land.
These drums are born from that lineage — made not just to be played, but to be known. Made to be hugged. To be danced with. To help us remember our rhythm and rise in it.
Welcome to the beginning of something ancient… and something very new.
Welcome to the Ancient Future Drums.
