Further Information
General Information
- Depending on location, we suggest you bring a packed lunch as cooking facilities may not be available.
- All workshops finish between 5pm and 6:30pm depending on numbers.
- Hides selected for drum making workshops are specific to each workshop. We will not mix hides. The choice of hides depends on availablity. For workshops we primarily use red deer, fallow deer, and horse. Kangaroo, Elk and Bison are not as readily available, but are still used in workshops.
Payments for All Workshops
- Deposits are due on the date specified for each workshop to guarentee your placement. Deposits are non-refundable, however, for participants who are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances you may choose to transfer the deposit to another workshop or purchase a product from Wolf Drums at an equal or greater value, with the difference payable at time of purchase.
- Where no deposits have been received the workshop can be re-booked or cancelled. We will not chase up late payments.
- The final balance is due on the day of the workshop. Where workshops have been organised outside the Sydney metro area, fuel charges will be added to the cost of each drum.
One on One Workshops
- One on one workshops are available by appointment only. Please contact us for available dates and discuss any details.
Organising Your Own Drum Workshop
- If you would like to organise your own group for a drum workshop with us at an alternative venue, please contact us to discuss the details and availablity of hoops and hide. Once deposits have been paid, the choice of hoop and hide are final.
- As an organiser, if you are making your own drum during the workshop you receive a 50% discount off the price of your drum. This discount is not available on any other offer or purchase.
- For Interstate workshops we ask for a minimum of two workshops over one weekend. 6 to 10 people for each workshop, as this helps us keep the cost of the workshop as low as possible. We are prepared to travel just about anywhere in Australia for drum workshops, so please discuss the details with us prior to making a booking.
