Shamanic frame drum. A simple yet very resonant instrument that, in the right hands, can lead you into a trance. A beater and carrying bag can be purchased separately for the drum.
Shamanic drums are among the oldest musical instruments known to humanity. For thousands of years they have been used in rituals, healing ceremonies, and spiritual journeys. The repetitive rhythm of the drum helped shamans enter altered states of consciousness, enabling communication with the spirit world, ancestors, and the forces of nature.

In Northern Europe, particularly in the region of Lapland, drums were used by the indigenous Sámi people. Their drums were often decorated with symbols representing the spiritual world, animals, deities, or maps of the cosmos. Drumming was part of divination rituals as well as healing practices.
A similar tradition can also be found among the indigenous peoples of North America. Native American tribes used frame drums in ceremonies, dances, and storytelling. The sound of the drum symbolized the heartbeat of the Earth and the connection between humans and nature. In many cultures, the drum is considered a sacred instrument that links the physical and spiritual worlds.
Frame drums can also be found in many other parts of the world – from Siberia through Mongolia to the regions of Central Asia. Although their appearance may vary, the principle remains the same: a wooden frame and natural skin create a deep, resonant sound capable of filling a space with powerful and natural vibrations.
Thanks to its simplicity and natural sound, the shamanic drum remains a popular instrument today for meditation, sound healing, rituals, and musical improvisation.
