I bought my Boran 20 years ago from a woman who used it to skin up on..basically used it to roll her cannabis on it has burn holes in it.. It was abused. That drum sings to me when I play it it has a voice of its own..And yes when its damp it goes dull..It has a soul.. I have Irish roots.When I play my Boran and I taught myself to play it..I connect with my ancestors..The drum is old but has a resonance that makes me feel so connected to spirit..the resonance is the inbetween my drumming I can always hear it..Keeps me safe and connected..I instantly connected with my drum..Its my initiation drum I play before I journey..I have acquired other drums since an African Jambi being one which I play when im upset!!! Thank you for your video..
Awesome Kathleen! I also play bodhran and djembe!
Thank you so much for sharing this; it is just what has been happening to me. I received a clear message just a month ago that If a wanted to deepen my explorations of shamanism it was time to find a drum. This isn't something I've had any experience with, or anything I'd had an interest in before. It seemed "out of the blue", but your sharing here has made the way more clear. I've been reading and have asked some people about drums and making drums and have decided that I want to make my own drum. Thank you again! Your guidance has been important in helping me discover my path over the last year. I am excited about the journey ahead!!!
Thank you so much for these consideration I am setting my attention to connect with my 1st drum.
The Beater is very important. It will change the sound significantly. That's why I make my own to get the sound I want. A beater for a smaller drum is much different than a larger drum. I also use a 'travel' mylar drum when I go to florida in the winter. It travels well. I only use goat for the head. It is more robust and doesn't shink as much in the summer. I went through 4 drums to find MY drum and it has been with me for years.
Thank you, I have always felt this way about my drum. It too is part of my healing room. I do not allow others to play it, i actually cringe when asked. So my Segun and I decided she's better in my b healing shade. She is honored and I thank her for being a part of my own healing journey.
That was intense! Thank you so much for sharing, amazing to see how emotional your relationship with these drums is. Beautiful. I'm very touched by your deeply ingrained need to thank and honor the elements of your drum. I know it is a part of every spiritual endeavor to be grateful, but you are so graceful and so personal that it truly moves me to be part of that and witnessing it, though from a distance. And thank you for sharing so much knowledge so consistently throughout your other videos in such a graceful forgiving manner, it both soothes and teaches me, a soft hand pushing me forward.
Thank you very much, Jan. It means a lot!
I own a Mylar drum. The First time I played it, it want to me. I love my drum even although it is not made from animal, it is very much alive. One day I will make my own. Thank you for this Gerry.
I have two mylar drums. They are more stable in varieties of weather and environments, so good for traveling. And yes, they have their own voices!
Excellent!
Thank you Gerry. I will be selecting my first spirit horse drum soon.
Hi Gerry.You had a video previously that mentioned Australian aboriginal digeridoos,or yidaki, as they are known.There is a whole lot of protocol around the use of the instrument ,one such as it being a male only instrument.I will also mention that the digeridoo was not played by all of the differant nations here either.I think it was originally from north queensland, and northern territory as well.But has spread among other tribal groups since colonisation. Obviously playing someone's instrument without asking is a real no no. Also , if people do buy a digeridoo please make sure it is from real indiginous Australian people.The real deal has a real energy behind it and it is also a source of income very much needed by our indiginous brothers living in very remote out stations. There are a lot of mass produced items from Asia with some kind of dot painting on them which is insulting to the people and a cultural appropriation.If buying please go through a legitimate indiginous business. Unfortunately many of the digeridoos for sale at "new age" shops are not the real thing and are just really colorfully painted wooden pipes ,not yidaki. I would imagine that native American people would have the same issues with their arts and instruments.
My drum is coming to me, the hide first, through a family member, sacred intentions set even in the gathering.
I feel the drum calling me! Yeah! I've been using a rattle, but I feel drum is on its way!
