Sound and character
The 40 cm drum sounds deep, full and substantial, with notable volume and body. An earthy, archaic character that works powerfully in both therapy and ceremony. The larger surface gives a longer, richer decay.
How to use
- Shamanic ceremonies and drum journeys
- Sound therapy work as a deep foundation
- Lead drum in group drum circles
- Full-moon rituals and nature ceremonies
Why this product
The 40 cm size is a classic choice for many therapists and practitioners – deep and full enough for serious work yet still easy to handle and transport. If you want one ritual drum that does it all, this is it.
Care tips
- The larger skin surface is more sensitive to humidity – keep in a stable, dry place.
- Brief warming in cold weather yields cleaner tone.
- Hold the drum by the rim, not by the lacing under the skin.
- Hold the mallet loosely, play with soft movements.
- Use a padded case for transport.
