Welcome to the frame drum, characterized by a drumhead significantly wider than its depth, has been cherished for millennia. Archaeological findings reveal depictions dating back to 5,600 BC. Traditionally played by women and healers with their hands, it honored the Divine Mother, goddesses, and marked rites of passage, ceremonies, and celebrations. When struck with a beater, it transforms into a medicine drum—a sacred tool for shamans and healers—facilitating a deep connection to Earth Mother, the four directions, and the heart's inner voice.
