| "Our goal with this recording is to provide a musical catalyst which can serve as a ritual and ceremonial tool for contemporary people searching for a way to reconnect with ancient wisdom. Indigenous cultures know that humanity is only a small part of the overall web of life. Now more than ever we need to remember the sacredness of all life and reverence for the Earth. This is a message which belongs to all people and all cultures, and, hopefully, future generations."
In peace, Steve Gordon & David Gordon

What people are saying about Sacred Earth Drums:
'On Sacred Earth Drums, David and Steve Gordon have combined drums from around the world with Northern Plains Indian Loon Bill Flute, Incan Pan Pipes, nature sounds (including wolf, eagle, coyote, and dolphin) and their special brand of studio wizardry to produce a magical, musical re-creation of a Shamanic Journey. The driving beat of the drums keeps time with our hearts as we embark with Prayer for the Four Directions, then takes us deeper with the Sunset Ceremony, Call of the Medicine Drum, Descent to the Lowerworld, Dancing for a Vision, and so on. Sacred Earth Drums feels like a Native-American vision of an innocent time long before the long knives rode out to destroy a sacred way of life. Moving, eloquent, and deeply spiritual, every time I listen to this instant classic I see visions of an ancient time when we danced under the stars around scared fires... In my opinion, this is a must have. My highest recommendation.'
- Steve Ryals, New Age Retailer
'Brothers David and Steve Gordon are well known for their meditation, space music, and nature recordings. On Sacred Earth Drums, they embrace the Native American Shamanic vision and let the beat lead the way. The rhythms are usually a 4/4 beat, but the Gordons also offer the exotic embellishments and vital syncopations of global rhythms. The haunting Native American Flute is the leader of the inner expedition, and rich synthesizer orchestrations with nature sounds bring the whole experience alive. This is an excellent way for modern day people to feel the wisdom of ancient spiritual teachings.'
- Carole Wright, NAPRA Journal
'Sacred Earth Drums is my favourite music... It sings to my soul.'
- Honour Leigh
'The ageless heartbeat of the Earth seamlessly unites with the joyful spirit of Man on this healing shamanic journey that enables contemporary people to reconnect with ancient wisdom hidden deep within. The brothers Gordon have created an innovative musical catalyst, which serves admirably as a ritual and ceremonial tool destined to find fervent favor in sacred movement circles. The instrumental philosophy here suggests that we are all dancers or drummers able to inspire others to walk in balance once we remember the sacredness of all life ourselves through the attainment of an altered state of consciousness; each song uses specific drums, rattles, flutes and other instruments to help evoke awareness and positive change.'
- P. J. Birosik - Nationally Syndicated Music Columnist
'At last! I have been searching for your music since I purchased Sacred Earth Drums at the end of 1994. I wanted you to know how much it helped while I was in childbirth in August last year. My midwife said it was a pure joy to watch and made her realise just why it was she became a midwife, to be present during the delivery of a beautiful new soul into the world. I can't wait to purchase the rest of your material. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with the world.'
- Kia Ora from New Zealand
'This primal pulsating collection of Earth-beat music from the talented brothers triggers powerful memories of forgotten nights spent in drumming circles, unexpectedly found on moonlit beaches and at campgrounds of large music festivals. This penetrating collection of theme based spiritual music is a Shamanic journey of drums from around the world filled with Native-American Flute, Incan pan Pipes, nature sounds and studio wizardry. A timeless energy has been captured in this recording that awakens an innate knowledge of universal rhythms and ancient wisdom. This music is loaded with feeling and evocative imagery making it just right for ritual or guided meditation.'
