Ground Yourself In Sound
A LIDAH® Shaman Drum invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body, and bring your attention back to the present moment. Its deep, grounding vibration and warm resonance make it a beautiful instrument for meditation, rituals, sound healing, and personal moments of stillness.
✔ Deep, grounding sound with natural resonance
✔ Ideal for meditation, rituals, and sound healing
✔ Helps you connect intuitively with rhythm and stillness
Easy To Play For Anyone
You don’t need any musical experience to play a shaman drum. The rhythm flows naturally from your hands, your breath, and your feeling. This makes the drum accessible for beginners, while still offering depth and expression for experienced players.
✔ Intuitive to play, even without experience
✔ Easily follow your own rhythm and pace
✔ Suitable for beginners, ceremonies, and personal practice
Tune It To Your Vibration
With the EasyTune® Shaman Drum, you can easily adjust the tension of the skin using a small air pump. This allows you to shape the sound to your preference, the space you are playing in, or changes in temperature and humidity.
✔ EasyTune® system for simple sound adjustment
✔ Easily adjust the skin tension yourself
✔ More control over tone, resonance, and playing feel

✔ Handmade in Bali from natural materials
✔ Crafted from teak wood and carefully selected goat skin

Frequently Asked Quesions
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.
