Tribal Frame Drum - Goddess

Tribal drums, otherwise known as frame drums, are one of the most ancient musical instruments. They have a simple structure with strong spiritual and entertaining effects. Our frame drums are handmade from cow hide and sinew on a mulberry wood frame, then painted. As with all natural products, there will be natural colour variations in the leather.

The goddess figure has her arms raised in invocation, power and triumph, the spiral in her belly is a globally positive symbol that belongs to everyone and excludes no one. It is the journey of life. The number 6 is a symbol of completeness and love.

Note that these natural leather drums are affected by temperature and humidity fluctuations during shipping. Ideally, store them in a warm dry location and they will acclimatize in approximately 5 days. Tuning is quickly done with a warm hairdryer blown across the drum surface (not too close) - the leather will contract, resulting in a tighter fit.
