Amazon sells an inexpensive serviceable frame
drum with a goat skin head that is perfect for
shamanic work. The head is tightly
stretched, and for the larger 18"+ drums, the head rarely
getsfloppy when humidity is high. This can be
a problem with smaller natural-skin headed drums
from this same manufacturer, however. I bought this
exact drum from a shamanic teacher and paid more for
it than Amazon is asking. Inexpensive and very
satisfying for one's first shamanic drum investment;
great sound, lightweight and very alive for shamanic
work. Don't leave it in a hot car, though, or the
hide head will shrink as it dries out and the frame
will rupture in a dramatic, catastrophic way.

Atlanta Pro
Percussion, one source for the Remo Buffalo Drum,
synthetic-head hoop drums suitable for shamanic
practice. They hold up nicely, have a good
resonant sound, and are not affected by humidity. It
will go
floppy and flat when it gets warm, however: the
mylar head relaxes when it gets hot in a similar way
that hide drums relax when they get moist.
Realistically though, I have only encountered
this problem rarely while drumming outside on a
sunny day. Great for cold winter days as the drum
head gets nice and tight (raising the pitch) as it
gets colder.

hometown!) has very
good quality herbs. I have gotten excellent White
Sage from them, sweet and easy burning stuff. These
folks are nice and take their work very seriously.
