Spirit of the Dragon – Shaman Drum and Stick – Tunable – 40cm
The Spirit of the Dragon Shaman Drum brings a dragon motif to a substantial 40cm frame drum, built with a tunable head so you can dial in the tone yourself rather than being locked to a fixed pitch. It arrives complete with a beater, ready for ceremonial drumming, sound work, or meditation practice.
Its larger diameter gives it genuine low-end presence, the kind of deep, room-filling tone that smaller shamanic drums can’t quite match.
Craftsmanship and Materials
- Frame: a sturdy wooden frame built to support a full-sized, tunable drumhead.
- Head: a natural drum skin fitted with an adjustable tensioning system, so the pitch can be tightened or relaxed to suit your playing.
- Artwork: a dragon design across the drum face, giving the instrument a distinct, symbolic presence.
Sound and Playing
At 40cm, this is one of the larger shamanic drums, with a deep, resonant tone suited to ceremonial and group sound work as well as solo meditation. Because the head is tunable, you can tighten it for a brighter, more defined tone or ease it off for a lower, more open sound. Use the included beater for full, sustained strikes, or your hand for a softer touch.
Tuning and Care
Adjust the drum’s tensioning mechanism gradually and evenly to raise or lower the pitch — small changes make a noticeable difference on a drum this size. Store it away from direct sunlight, damp rooms, and heat sources, since natural drum skins are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes.
