| Wolf Creek Thunder Drum |
| So one day, we have this visitor and he notices how the yearling's would jump & play on an overturned stock tank and when they did it sounded like thunder. It was hard convincing people it wasn't thunder even on a clear, sunny day. So what does this visitor do? He comes back with paintbrush in hand and turns the dull looking tank into one of the biggest drums we have ever seen. So now every time they jump on it they are playing the Wolf Creek Thunder Drum What talented wolves we have! Kosmik Ray a former New York Artist donated his time to make this drum come alive! Thanks Kosmik for your genius idea. |
Part of the Press Release for Native American Weekend A giant ceremonial-style drum measuring nearly 8 ft. across with a massive 24 ft. circumference will help ring in the Habitat’s 4th annual Native American Weekend at the Wolf Creek Habitat in Brookville, Indiana, which is slated for October 11th and 12th. When the donated project is completed, the drum will be installed within the habitat’s wolf enclosure for the benefit of the naturally playful and curious animals. Wolves that walk across and jump on the drum head will be able to create low frequency harmonics which closely resemble the sound of thunder, thanks to its all-metal construction. “This just might be the world’s largest drum of its kind, and the only one made for wolves,” said Habitat co-director Kathy Baudendistel, who owns the unique non-profit sanctuary with her husband Terry. “We’ll have to do some research when its done. I know the wolves will love it, as it’s strong enough for a person to dance on. I imagine lots of young school kids will get a kick out of seeing and hearing the wolves make music on it. Wolves love to play as much as any domesticated dog, and this drum is a natural accompaniment to their group singing which is rated tops in the animal kingdom.” |
