My name is Chip Geiger and I am a Drum Maker specializing in the creation of buffalo (bison) drums. I conduct and teach day long drum making workshops that encourage participants to inject a part of their own self into a very special personal bison drum. Living in the woods near Wautoma, Wisconsin has allowed me to follow my passion of drum making and has enabled me to share my gift with others at my

Telling the story of the drum through spirit, education and experience.

Drums are as old as the the people who first walked the earth. They were used in many rituals, war, sounding alarm, as well as in prayer and celebration. Scientific research has proven the healing effects of drum rhythms on the mind, body and spirit. Drumming can help us to celebrate the unity of the cycles of the earth, the cosmos and the human body. It is my sacred path to help inspire and guide you, regardless of where you are on your drumming journey.

Please come in and explore my world...
