Spirit of the Eagle Shaman Drum with Carved Beater - 40cm

You reach for this drum when you want to settle into a slower, more deliberate rhythm, whether that is at the start of a meditation session, before a ceremony, or simply when you need a grounding sound to close the day. The wide 40cm surface gives you a deep, resonant tone that carries well in a room or outdoor circle, and the tunable skin lets you adjust the tension until the pitch feels right for your practice.

Spiritual meaning and symbolism

In shamanic traditions, the drum beat is often described as the heartbeat of the earth, used to accompany journeying, ceremony and group drumming. The included beater has a carved eagle handle, an animal traditionally linked with vision, freedom and spiritual connection, adding meaning to every strike.

How to use

• Adjust the lacing or tension hardware gradually to fine-tune the pitch
• Play with the included beater, striking near the centre for deeper tones and near the edge for brighter ones
• Store away from direct heat and damp conditions to protect the natural skin
• Keep any incense or candles used during ceremony at a safe distance from the drum
