Shamanic Drum Cowhide with Fur
Cowhide & mahogany wood, Bali
This lightweight shamanic frame drum is handcrafted in Bali and has a diameter of approximately 50 cm. The head is made of raw cowhide with fur, mounted on a mahogany plywood frame. The drum produces a deep, full sound and is traditionally played with an included mallet made of coffee wood and leather. The fur adds an even softer and fuller quality to the sound. Due to the natural variations in color and grain of the cowhide with fur, every drum is a unique piece. Jaw harps and rattles make great accompanying instruments. An audio sample can be found below.
Notice:
Inspect the drum for damage before first use. When playing a drum with a stick, there is a risk that the stick may slip off when striking and cause injuries to the hands or face. Care should also be taken not to strike the drum too hard to prevent damage to the instrument and potential hearing damage from loud noises. The vibrations of the drum can be intense. Sensitive individuals or people with certain health conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues) should handle the drum with caution.
Care:
To care for a wooden drum with animal hide, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt, and keep the skin protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store the drum near heaters or in very cold rooms to avoid cracks in the hide or frame. Use a padded bag during transport to protect the drum from impacts.
Disposal:
Please check with your local waste management facility regarding environmentally friendly disposal.
