Medium Shamanic Drum

This variety of frame drum is a staple in shamanic rituals, believed to guide the shaman into a specific mental state based on the beats per second produced. Unlike traditional drumming, its rhythm isn’t bound by a fixed tempo, allowing the player to freely increase or decrease the pace at will. Often called a 'bridge' or 'horse,' it symbolically transports the shaman across realms of consciousness. These drums also shine in the performative elements of shamanism, where the act of playing integrates seamlessly into dance through dynamic physical expression.
