Drum - Shaman

The shaman drum, also known as the shamanic drum, is a percussion instrument used in shamanic practices in different cultures around the world. It is often made from animal skin stretched over a wooden frame. Shamans use the drum to induce a trance state, thereby coming into contact with spirits or spiritual dimensions. The repetitive and rhythmic sound of the shaman drum creates an atmosphere conducive to the shamanic experience, facilitating mediation between the physical and spiritual worlds. Rhythmic patterns may vary depending on the specific cultural tradition, but the drum remains an essential tool in shamanic rituals, symbolizing connection with natural forces and spirits.
