Drum Design:The drum is hand painted with an original design. Allard’s signature is designed using Haida formline and is inspired by a whale tail and dorsal fin representing her signature, DA.This drum combines traditional Haida formline with her distinctive painting style. The frog, is carefully shaped to match the round form of the drum. At its center is a painted abalone pattern so realistic it’s mistaken for the real thing. Allard calls this technique “faux-balone,” a signature detail she’s known for, also featured on a major totem raised in 2022 outside Christian White’s longhouse.
