Re: So I got this and....
Looks like you got some American Indian frame drum, as used by their shamans. Similar drums appear in a number of cultures such as the native Siberians, Mongolians and others. In their belief systems, they'd say that the sound of the drums vibrations helped them to fall into a trance and communicate with their ancestors or to help heal people. These kind of drums, frame drums, are some of the oldest forms of percussion on the planet.....the Irish bodhran, the various Middle Eastern frame drums such as the tar, bendir and doira and even the humble 'headed' tambourine are in the same family of drums. Have you got a picture of the drumhead itself and the beater as well?
