The Shamanic Tribe Drum is a handmade frame drum widely used in ritual and ceremonial drumming, known for its flowing tempo that can shift freely in speed to match the musician’s intent. Often seen as a “bridge” or “horse” in shamanic practice, it is traditionally believed to support deep focus and a change in awareness through rhythmic playing, and it can also be used in performance settings where movement and gesture become part of the expression. This medium octagonal drum is made in Indonesia from wood and animal hide, decorated with airbrushed stencil designs, and crafted by skilled Fair Trade artisans, so each piece has slight variations that make it unique. It comes complete with a rustic beater and is a meaningful gift for drummers, percussionists, and shamanic practitioners.
