Shaman Drum Weaver 2140
145,00 €
A beautiful and unique shaman drum that was handcrafted with love and care in our workshop in Finnish Lapland. The sound is higher and quieter than in bigger drums so it can be played in apartment buildings and other similar environments. Being light-weighted, it’s best suitable for traveling and for children but it is still sturdy enough for not being a toy.
S size drum is suitable for small-scale drumming. It has a soft sound that is perfect for playing by oneself, in small groups and for relaxation. You can also use it for decoration.
Being environmentally friendly and ethical, we source our materials locally from known and responsible suppliers. The frame is made of double-layered birch plywood which has been waxed with wood wax. The drumhead is Finnish reindeer skin that is either dyed with water colour stain or left natural. There is a wooden handle attached behind the drum.
A felted drumstick and instructions for caring for the drum are included in the package.
The size is 31 cm, weight 0,5 kg.
In stock
A shaman drum was probably one of the first instruments that was used all over the world. The sound will soothe your mind and relax your tense muscles.
The sound of our small drum is higher than in the bigger drum. If your soul craves for a deeper and more vibrating sound, check our M size drums. If you like to use the drum in a more professional way (e.g. musician), please have a look at the selection of our L size drums.
How to care for your new drum
- use grease or some leather conditioner couple times a year
- keep the drum for example on the wall but not directly in the sunlight or near a heater (strong air conditioning can also dry the drum)
- don’t leave the drum in a hot car during the summer
- The drum doesn’t like dry air. The risk is that the drumhead becomes too tight causing it to rip (usually really cold weather equals dry air)
- instructions for caring for your drum are included in the package.
Tuning
The drum is very sensitive to the air humidity loosening it in a moist weather and tightening it in a dry weather. This affects the sound as well.
If your drum is too loose, you can dry it e.g. in the sunlight or with a hair dryer.
If your drum is too tight, you can spray water on the skin or wipe it with the moist cloth. The drumhead doesn’t respond immediately so wait a couple of minutes.
Watch our video and learn more about tuning.
Blessing the drum
Blessing a drum is an old tradition in which the energies of the drum and the owner merge and the drum becomes your own. Though, blessing is recommended, it is not necessary, you can still use the drum without doing it.
Colouring/painting
If you liked to add your own symbols or colour, you can use acrylic- or oil colours (please test first on a small area). Our drums are greased once the drumhead is attached, so that it does not rip, therefore it would be good to avoid painting straightaway after you have received the drum. Please contact us if you have any concerns regarding painting the drum.
The frame is made of birch plywood which is very suitable for carving your own symbols or adding some paint. You could also decorate your frame with different kinds of talismans, feathers, pearls and other things of your liking.

The shamanic drum frame is round and black (colour may differ from the image).
The shamanic drum frame has a diameter of approximately 40 cm. The frame is made of birch plywood and protected with wood wax.

A three-page illustrated colour guide is included.
Read the instructions carefully and allow yourself plenty of time, patience, and crafting joy! We recommend beginners set aside approximately 3-4 hours for the drum-making process.
