“One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people’s consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain and the nervous system are energized and transformed. When a group of people play a rhythm for an extended period of time, their brain waves become entrained to the rhythm and they have a shared brain wave state. The longer the drumming goes on, the more powerful the entrainment becomes. It’s really the oldest holy communion.” ~ Layne Redmond.
The shamanic drums I offer are made from deer skin crafted by my friend and painted by me, imbuing them with both male and female energy. Deer skin produces a very strong sound and bass. The tension is also created with leather, allowing the drum to be tuned using heat or moisture. If the drum absorbs too much moisture from the environment, we can heat it near a fireplace or heater. Conversely, if it becomes too dry and produces high-pitched sounds, we can lower the tone by lightly dampening the back of the drum. We avoid untying or retying anything.
Each drum is unique, carrying its own story and intention. When I paint a drum for a special order, the images represent the client’s intentions and needs. Additionally, each drum comes with a leather drumstick, which may be somewhat hard. If you prefer a softer feel, you can wrap it with a piece of fur and cloth.

I am an artist journeying along the shamanic path. My adventure with art began long, long ago in my childhood, shaping both my education and occupation. The shamanic journey commenced in 2010, when I traveled to Olchon Island on the Baikal Lake in Siberia. These two paths merged, and now I utilize both sets of skills to craft art, tattoos, and facilitate shamanic workshops and gatherings.
In 2018 I began painting drums, imbuing them with the power to connect their owners with the spirits and enter a shamanic state. The imagery varies in style, often reflecting my own visions or those of my clients.
From the Siberian perspective, the drum holds paramount importance in a shaman’s toolkit, deserving a place in every household, regardless of shamanic practice. It is not merely an object, but a living entity, a conduit, and the shaman’s closest ally. The drum often carries numerous spirits, ranging from those of the tree and animal from which it is crafted to those invited to rituals and ceremonies. Additionally, drums may also capture spirits from individuals or places.
A shamanic journey can be embarked upon by drumming at a speed of 200-220 hits per minute for a minimum of 15 minutes. Through this practice, one can traverse the Lower World, Upper World, and our Middle World. The drum serves as a tool for healing, expansion, discovery of one’s Animal Guides, and retrieval of lost soul fragments.
