Dakota Drum Company — Local services in Rapid City

Just happen to stumble on this shop! Walking into the place, you get a wonderful smell of leather, and the atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful. The shop has a vintage vibe, the floor creaks, and the wood floors show wear, but it was amazing to step into that place. The artwork is presented well. Everything is priced, and Sonja is very friendly. She told us where each piece came from and who made them. I purchased many items from Sonja, all made by local artists from the nearby reservations, from Rosebud to Pine Ridge. I ABSOLUTELY love this place and will be back next time I am in town. If you're looking for beautiful beadwork, handpainted drums, quillwork, sage... the list goes on. This shop has many great features and pieces that can check off most of your authentic Indigenous needs. Definitely recommend 10/10

We purchased a hand painted drum and cross from this store and LOVE our new household additions.

She was so sweet and informative and I would recommend anyone to shop here before the overpriced place...
