Shamanic Drum "Snake" | 50 cm

This shamanic drum with a diameter of 50 cm stands out not only for its full, open sound, but also for the distinctive symbolic design of the back side.

The back of the drum is traditionally tightened with sinew lacing and complemented by a natural wooden handle symbolizing a snake, which ensures a firm and comfortable grip while playing. The overall design feels authentic and balanced – without unnecessary decoration, with an emphasis on function, sound, and direct contact between the player and the instrument.
