Sound and character
40 cm is the classic baseline for shamanic and ceremonial drums. With the right hide, you get a deep, carrying fundamental and rich overtones. Big enough for serious depth, still easy to hold. Sounds great in group ceremonies, sound work, and therapy sessions alike.
How to use
Use this frame to build a classic-proportion ceremonial or shamanic drum. The four-layer construction holds the laced hide stably, and the 7 cm depth provides ample resonance space. You can finish the surface yourself with oil or paint.
Why this product
A classic, well-established size from the Feeltone range. If you want to build a traditional ceremonial drum, this is the safest choice. Decades of workshop experience guarantee durability.
Care tips
- Wear gloves — the surface is rough and may have splinters.
- Sand the contact areas before lacing the hide.
- A natural oil finish makes it more beautiful and longer-lasting.
