We offer two handcrafted models, each with its own character:

• Easytune Shamanic Drum → Features an inflatable ring that lets you easily adjust the tension of the skin using a small pump. This means you can tune the drum yourself. Perfect if you want flexibility in sound, specific vibrations, or protection against changes in temperature and humidity.
  
• Traditional Shamanic Drum → Made with ancient techniques, without a pumping system. The tension is preset and stable but can be influenced by climate. You can adjust it by gently heating the skin (sunlight, body warmth, or near a campfire) or by carefully moistening and retuning. This model gives you the most authentic, traditional playing experience.
  

👉 Choose Easytune if you want convenience and the ability to adjust the sound anytime. Choose Traditional if you value authenticity and don’t mind a more hands-on approach.

• Furred Drum → Warm, earthy appearance with a slightly deeper, softer tone thanks to the natural damping effect of the fur.
  
• Rawhide Drum → Bright, resonant sound with more volume and long sustain.
  

Both options are equally powerful. The choice comes down to whether you prefer a warmer, muted tone or a clearer, more resonant sound.

Size influences both portability and sound:

• 40cm → Compact, lightweight, and easy to travel with. Perfect for beginners and personal use.
  
• 50cm → Balanced option with versatile sound. Great for both individual and group sessions.
  
• 60cm → Larger, deeper, and more resonant. Ideal for ceremonial use or more intense drumming.
  
• 70cm → The most powerful, with deep, earthy tones and strong presence. Best suited for ceremonials and rituals.
  

👉 Choose the size that matches your body comfort, playing style, and where you’ll use the drum.

All our drums are beginner-friendly. Whether Easytune or Traditional, with Fur or Rawhide, every model is intuitive to play and delivers a deep, grounding sound.

If you’re new to shamanic drumming and plan to play mainly by yourself, we recommend starting with a 40 cm or 50 cm drum. These sizes are lighter, easier to hold, and still powerful in sound.

Every LIDAH Shamanic Drum is handcrafted in Bali by our small team of artisans. We use natural materials: goat skin for the drumhead (a sustainable byproduct) and teak wood for the frame.

We believe in giving back to nature: for every instrument we sell that uses wood, we plant a tree. This way, your drum not only carries the spirit of tradition, but also contributes to a sustainable future.

• Store in a dry place, away from extreme heat, cold, or moisture.
  
• Protect with a bag or blanket when transporting.
  
• Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity, which can affect tension.
  

With this simple care, your drum will stay beautiful and resonant for years.
