Spirit of the Bear Shaman Drum
The Spirit of the Bear Shaman Drum is a substantial, 40cm frame drum handcrafted for meditation, ceremony, and sound healing practice. Skilled artisans build the frame from acacia wood and top it with a genuine goatskin head, producing a deep, grounding tone with real physical presence.
A hand-pump tunable frame sets this drum apart, giving you direct control over pitch and tension — and it comes complete with its own beater, ready to play from the moment it arrives.
Materials and Tone
The frame is built from acacia wood, chosen for its strength and warm tonal character, while the drumhead uses genuine goatskin — a traditional choice for frame drums prized for its deep, rich resonance. Together they produce a grounding, steady tone well suited to meditation and sound healing sessions.
Tunable Frame
This drum features a hand-pump tunable frame, letting you adjust the tension of the goatskin head to suit humidity, room, or personal preference. Pump it tighter for a higher, brighter pitch, or ease off for a deep, low tone suited to grounding, meditative work.
The Spirit of the Bear
This drum honours the bear’s traditional symbolism — strength, introspection, and grounding — making it a fitting tool for deep, reflective meditation sessions, group ceremony, or a growing sound healing practice.
