Welcome to Circle Seven Drums!

C7D invites you to explore new musical territory with an exciting new instrument that forges what you love about the box cajon, the djembe, the congas, and even the warm, bell-like purity of a tongue drum into a melodic, nuanced, responsive and resonant hybrid voice that defines a whole new experience in hand percussion.

Thoughtful design, artisan quality, and shear sensual beauty combine with the inspiring sound and feel to delight all of the senses.  Each instrument is a unique work of art, signed by the maker and individually hand-made for you in, and of the foothills of Mount Shasta in Northern, California.  Inspired by these beautiful surroundings and driven by the desire for a peaceful and verdant future for us all, C7D strives to bring you a satisfying and refined experience while keeping the footprint low and our habitat intact for future generations.

 

What People Are Saying

  • Exquisite, inspired and greater than the sum of it's parts. The sound is warm, unique and immersive. Everyone I show it to falls in love.
    — Allan Hargreaves - Percussionist and composer
  • There is something about the sound that is simply trance inducing in a way that I have never experienced before. I don't know how else to say it. I so easily lose myself when I play it. All the thought, care and intention you put into the drum are really evident. Just having it in my space to look at lifts my spirit. I hope I am not pouring it on too thick, but I really feel inspired and even transformed by my experience with the drum. Thank you.
