Ritual and Shaman Drums
Remo Buffalo drums - Shamanic style sweat lodge drums
This drum comes boxed but not with a bag.
The MEINL Sea Drums create the soothing sounds of the surf, with a great new feature: they sealed the little steel balls between two drum heads, one synthetic and the other natural goatskin. This means you can choose between two completely different timbres within the same drum. A sealable filling port allows you to control the amount of steel balls inside.
Sea Drums are wonderfully fascinating and can be used in theatre as a sound effect, or in meditation groups to facilitate guided meditation
Medium Painted Shamanic Drum with 10" (25cm) diameter. Round, wooden framed drum with string tensioning. These are made in Indonesia and feature bright, colourful painting on the skin. The beating of the drum is believed to allow the shaman to achieve an altered state of consciousness, sending him or her on a spiritual journey. The drum is often referred to as a bridge to the spiritual world, helping to establish connections to this unseen plane of existence.

We use the term 'ritual' here in a loose sense to describe drums which are often in the context of a celeberation, ceremony or spiritual journey. They can include Native American style Buffalo drums, and others variously described as Shaman drums, Shamanic drums, Tribe drums, Gathering drums, Sweat lodge drums and Thunder drums.
Drums such as these are often skinned with natural hide, but Remo Buffalo drums have synthetic skins which do not 'sag' in wet weather or in steamy sweat lodge conditions.
They are also perfectly suited for more mundane musical purposes!
