Drums

A shamanic drum is a frame drum played with a soft beater, its steady beat used for meditation, journeying, ceremony and sound practice. The rhythm gives the mind something to settle on, which is why drumming has been part of ritual in so many cultures for so long.
Our drums
The Mandala and Chakra drums are a lovely first drum, light enough to hold for long sessions and each supplied with a stick. The Spirit of the Wolf, Bear, Eagle and Dragon drums are larger and tunable, so you can tighten or relax the skin to find the tone that suits you.
How to begin drumming
Sit or stand comfortably and hold the drum by its back. Begin with a slow, even beat, like a resting heartbeat, and let it settle before you change anything. Many people keep a steady, repeating rhythm for ten or fifteen minutes as a meditation, then slow down gently to finish.
Caring for your drum
Keep your drum away from damp, direct heat and strong sunlight, all of which affect the skin and its tone. Store it in a bag between sessions and let it adjust to the room before you play.
Pair your drum with a singing bowl or cleansing tools, or see all ritual tools.
