Product Specifications
Choosing the Right Shamanic Frame Drum Size:
Drum size has a direct impact on pitch and resonance. In general, larger shamanic frame drums produce deeper bass tones.
For a full, grounding bass sound, the Large or XL sizes are ideal. The XL delivers the deepest resonance and is often described as a sound you can feel throughout the body.
Keep in mind that the XL is heavier and larger to hold.
We recommend watching our drum size comparison video to help choose the right option for you.
Shamanic Drum Handle Options
The hide handle follows a traditional method, using the same goat skin for both the drum head and handle.
The felt handle offers a soft, ergonomic alternative, ideal for longer playing sessions.
Natural Goat Skin & Craftsmanship
Our goat skins are organically processed to preserve their natural oils and flexibility. Each skin is unique, with its own natural colour, texture, and markings.
Traditional Use & Construction
Shamanic frame drums, also known as medicine drums, are used worldwide in ceremonies, healing, and meditation.
Each drum is handcrafted using a traditional ring-and-rope system on a strong wooden frame made from teak and meranti wood.
Care Instructions
Each drum is handcrafted using natural materials, giving it its unique character and sound. The skin may naturally expand or contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
If a drum is exposed to high heat, the skin can tighten too much, which may place pressure on the frame and handle. To keep your drum in good condition, please store it in a temperate space and avoid prolonged heat or direct sunlight.
