Ghanaian Shamanic Drum

£180.00

A high quality shamanic frame drum, hand made in Ghana by the same workshop of drummers who carve our djembes - so the skin work and stringing are done by people who genuinely know drums.

The wide, shallow frame carries a thick, unbleached goat skin under tough rope stringing, giving a deep, resonant voice with long sustain - ideal for shamanic and sound healing practice, meditation, rhythm circles or simply as a beautifully honest hand drum. A beater is included, so it is ready to play straight from the box.

Each drum is individually made, and natural skins mean each has its own voice.

Fair Trade and ethically sourced.

Specifications: approx. 42cm diameter, 10cm deep. Beater included. Made in Ghana.

Specifications are approximate. Wood is a natural product, so every drum varies a little from the next, which is part of the charm.

Handcrafted in Ghana

  • Every drum is handcrafted by skilled musicians that African Musical Instruments have partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
  • The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
  • The body is made from sustainably sourced Tweneboa, a fast-growing wood, obtained under licence from the Ghana Forestry Commission.
  • The durable goat skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.
  • Every drum is polished with sesame oil and carefully tuned before being sent to you.

Our shamanic drums are hand-strung for the most authentic, resonant sound. Each drum is carefully crafted with traditional techniques, creating a rich, warm tone that carries deep spiritual vibrations. The hand-strung construction allows the drumhead to respond naturally to every strike, producing complex harmonic layers and organic sustain that machine-made drums simply cannot replicate.

Beautifully hand-carved, our shamanic drums are crafted from sustainable Tweneboa wood, a quality West African Cedar. Each drum uses a natural, unbleached goat hide skin for the most authentic sound.
