Shamanic practitioner, I make "classic" frame drums with animal hide on a wooden frame.
These drums are designed for shamanic use, as well as for any practice intended to connect to oneself, to the sound, the earth... Extending to a more "musical" use if that's the feeling they give you !
I work so that the creation process takes place with consciousness and connection as much as possible.
For instance I essentially work with hand tools to make the wooden frames. I'm on the way to local supply for this wood. I use hides prepared by a french tanner, and I do a shamanic accompanying work for the animal's souls.
You can find more information and a few pictures on the drums making here (only in french at the moment) : https://terresdesprits.fr/tambours-chamaniques/.
I wish you find the drum that sings for you !
Feel free to ask for any question.
