There are many different sweat lodges in different cultures used in different ways. Drumming, singing and contemplation add to the cleansing properties of heat and steam. The heat is created by stones heated in a fi re outside the lodge until they are glowing red and carefully placed in a special hole in the lodge. There the water is poured over the stones creating humidity in the lodge. The drums that are used inside the lodge have to be built in a special way to be able to hold their tension with the moisture for the duration in the lodge.

The technique of building these drums is tested in sweat lodges, meaning that they can stand the adverse middle European weather and will keep their tension very long. Because these are natural hide drums they do vary in their tones but in a dry room they always return to their original state. The drums consist only out of beech wood frames (plants) and calf-, horse-, deer- or wild boar skin (animals). The ropes are made out of skin as well. The beater is made out of a simple branch. Its head is covered with red leather and filled with wool. The leather cross on the bachside divides the rope in four segments, and forms a handle. Only high quality outer skin is used, from local hides using ecological methods in treating their skins.

Care for your drum
Your drum stays for a long time in the same tuning, when the weather is constant. Even if it stays inside, when the weather changes the drum always changes together with the weather, because it is alive itself. Don't you change with the weather yourself? Your drum can last a very long time, if you care for it, like a living being.

If you have to carry your drum over long distances, just put it in a big plastic bag and close it tightly, that no moisture gets inside, and the drum stays for a long time tuned. If your drum gets low tension, maybe the skin makes wrinkles, don't worry, back in dry climat it gets back to the same stadium than it was in before. You can speed up this process by warming the skin softly either with a fan or on your heater or the fire, but be cautious.

If your drum starts snaring one day, the reason can be the rope on the back that tightens the skin. They are close together and under circumstances the power of the vibration will make the ropes swing like a string and they start snaring against each other. To avoid this, we have added a red leather strap, with which you can tie the snaring ropes, either together or apart from each other till the snaring stops.

During the period of heating, don't make the climate around the drum too dry, because she might get so tight that the rope that keeps the skins together might either break or the holes where the ropes go through might break. Then the drum has to be redone completely. Put plants or moisturiser in the room. Never store the drum high up in the room. It is too dry up there.

A sturdy drum for outside or in sweat lodges

Our Alaska Fire Drum is designed in a very simple and archaic style. The thick red rawhide is simply tightened into a red frame, just like a buckler and still swings powerful and strong. Through the safely hidden skin inside the frame the thick drum skin is protected and tough. Good for use outside or in sweat lodges. Only held on the handle, it unfolds the full sound.

According to availability, we have a selection of shaman drums from Nepal, India or Tibet.

The Tang Du is the traditional Buddhist shaman's drum used in Nepali & Tibetan cultural ceremonies. Carved handle, skin heads with rawhide lacing. Comes with playing stick.

Drums of this kind are also used to invoke deities or to provide a gentle musical background for the singing of the orchestra of monks. The monotonous, even beat is ideally suited to accompanying meditation because it provides extremely suggestive and evocative vibrations. The gonkhang of a monastery - the room of the wrathful protective deities - often has its own monk appointed to bang a large drum uninterruptedly to honour and pacify the protective god Mahakala.

"In 1988, Boing Klangkoerper developed a special technique for tuning slit drums to a high perfection. The tropical oily wood, Padouk, is preferable as it does not accumulate humidity and therefore holds the tuning. The precisely pentatonic-tuned Profi-line slitdrum can be used as a rhythm and melody instrument. Can be played with the hand or with the included mallets. You can even sit on the drum and play it."

"At the beginning this instrument only existed in an open tuned version. In 1988, Ingo Böhme developed a technically challenging technique for tuning the large slitdrums. The tuned versions are important for therapeutic work using the support of harmonies to balance and relax the clients. Since 1988 this therapeutic musical furniture has been used in many hospitals, clinics, kindergartens, senior homes and handicapped homes. These Bass-Slit-Drum benches have been used successfully with many different people with amazing results. Some people enjoy the vibration massage, hyperactive children can be calmed with the experience of the deep sound. Acoustically handicapped people can experience sound through vibration and also multiple handicapped persons experience and react to this kind of communication.

All slitdrums have an additional pair of feet on the side enabling them to be fl ipped over 90 degrees. This allows a person to sit or lay down on top, allowing the therapist to play the slitdrum on the side. Comes with 2 mallets."
