Shamanic drums

Hello,

Can someone recommend me an online source for purchasing a decent drum?

Thanks in advance.

I hate to say it but I think drums and other musical instruments for spiritual purposes should be bought only after you have actually gotten to touch them. Personally I am looking for a bodhran, an Irish drum, and have been so for a year now. I was hopeful to find one at the couple of medieval markets I visited this summer, but no luck. I will keep on looking. Two reasons for not just buying one online: First of all I want the right individual drum and not just any drum, and second some of the drums I have seen on markets in other years had skin as hard and dry and brittle as paper. I am looking for a tool, not a wallhanger.

Go to youtube and type in "shamanic drumming".

Waiting for a 16" Remo Buffalo drum. They are excellent. Here are a couple of videos showing their resonance:

The second link the author discusses several different drums including 16" and 22" Remo Buffalo drums.

Added to the database to help others in the future.

Or you could look for drum making / drum birthing workshops in your area.. I've looked for some myself in the UK and most are reasonably priced and usually don't cost much more that the price of buying a drum from a shop..

.. and what better drum could you have than one you've made yourself :)

you can order drum parts n make your own from Ceder drums, pm me if you want the link . These are traditional NDN drums n the parts are sourced properly. If you make your own drum its part of you, or you can get one made for you by a drum maker, if you do make sure its transferred over to you energy wise as each drum has a spirit this should be done once the drum is given to you but some people just make drums these days not using traditional ways .
