Sound and character
The 35 cm drum has a deeper fundamental than the 30 cm sibling, sounding fuller and rounder. It keeps the dry, assertive cowhide character while giving more body to the tone. A favourite size for both ceremony and therapy.
How to use
- Shamanic journeying and trance work
- Sound therapy sessions as rhythmic accompaniment
- Group drum circles
- Home meditation practice
Why this product
If you want both portability and a characterful, deep tone, the 35 cm model is a perfect choice. It can still be held comfortably in one hand while sounding genuinely grounded. For many, this is the classic middle ground.
Care tips
- Touch the skin before playing to feel its tension.
- Play with relaxed mallet strokes, letting it rebound from the skin.
- Store in a dry, cool place.
- Do not reach into or insert objects between the laces – pinch hazard.
- Use a padded carrying bag for longer transport.
