The record
The Healing Drum Kit is a multi-media product containing a set of cards that lend themselves well to both oracular and meditative use, while encouraging direct musical and auditory participation in the reading process. This product consists of a sturdy box containing a 10 drum, guidebook, 24 rhythm cards and two play-along CDs. The kit is the work of Christine Stevens, music therapist, author, speaker and consultant to the Remo Drum Company. Published by Sounds True, Inc, this set sells for $37 Canadian at Amazon.ca, or $33 US at Amazon.com. A similar frame drum would sell for between $20 and $25 by itself, so the kit price of $36 is good value. I would have been willing to pay up to $10 more to buy this product in a retail shop, but I found it at priced at $60 in my favourite Vancouver esoteric bookshop. I decided that this price difference was a little too much to ignore. Unfortunately, in checking the cost at Amazon.uk I found this kit selling for £27, or approximately $59 Canadian. This price has been reduced from £35, making it a more reasonable buy than it had been, but still significantly more expensive than in North America. It may make sense to buy directly from Amazon.co
