More Details
The difference in pitch (note) between the sizes: As a rule – The larger the drum, the larger the bass resonance. If you’re looking for a deep and rich bass note then go for the Large or (even better) the XL. The XL especially, has a bass note that you will feel right through your body. The XL is bigger and heavier however, so that should be considered in your decision. Check out our video comparing the shaman drum sizes here.
Difference in Handles – the hide handle style uses the ancient system whereby the same goat skin is used for the handle as is for the head of the drum. The flet handle style is a soft and comfortable alternative.
The Frame Drum is reputed by some to be the first skin drum to exist. They are used across the world on all kinds of ceremonies and other occasions.
Our shamanic frame drums (also knows as medicine drums) are constructed using a ring and rope system on a sturdy, wooden frame made from teak wood and meranti wood. Available in three sizes.
