Sound and character
The 35 cm size brings together the best proportions of the Feeltone deer-hide drums: a slightly deeper, fuller voice than the 30 cm version, yet still comfortable to hold in one hand. The thin, fine-grained hide vibrates with both warmth and length, so the sound fills the room with ease.
How to use
This size is a versatile choice: it works beautifully in solo meditation, small groups, shamanic journeys, women's and men's circles, and moon rituals. Hold it in one hand and play steady strokes with the included leather mallet — the 35 cm hide resonates particularly nicely in the mid-range.
Why this product
Choose this size if you want a single drum that covers all kinds of practice, from meditative depth to group ritual work. The 35 cm piece is large enough to have a characterful fundamental, yet small enough to remain easy to hold.
Care tips
- The hide needs stable humidity — keep it away from heat sources and damp places.
- Do not insert objects inside the drum or between the cords.
- If the sound does not feel right, check the humidity first.
- The matching padded embroidered bag is sold separately — recommended for safe transport.
