I gifted a shamanic drum to myself after years of flirting around it, dreaming about it ...

I got my baby now. I call it my man, because it feels like it, it has this low bass sound and vibrates in a way that soothes me and most importantly, it makes me sing!
It's cow skin and so I cherish it as sacred, all animals are sacred of course. I have experience of feeling into cow's fields and indeed they create an elevation at the space around them.
I feel free enough to be crazy finally!
Be more of who I have always been.
I like to learn intuitively, I don't want for now to follow any tutorial or teacher or nothing, just me and the drum and my voice. All about my expression and play!:) loving the practice !
I have a long way to go because it is not I am practicing my voice, it is that I want to find my real voice, my true expression, and in order to do that I must experiment with sounding weird, sounding other times like a creature coming from the earth, others like a sirene...
I would love to take it to the woods and play but will see about it, it is somewhat big and I have no vehicle. Plus there are moments I hold it with confidence and others I'm feeling bit shy.
But these are my news. Finally my instrument came to me......I have been wanting to have an instrument for that long.

@YoMomma it is a very beautiful item, it feels like it has a soul on its own

When I was petsitting last year in Malaysia, there were a few similar drums in that house and they encouraged me to use them - and so I had the experience and I knew what it is. But having my own, feels good:)

have you ever touched one?

@Boeing one of the drums? no

@YoMomma it is magical...well to me it is! It transcends space somehow, now I understand more of this. I can send you some video from YouTube from someone playing one, I will find a good one and send you in the next days in PM

How did you like the cow field?

@YoMomma I need to find my place near nature too... I hope I will find my place soon... and you? Where do you live nowadays, any dream of a ranch ?

@Boeing oh i live in a tiny house in the woods. there's lots of beautiful farms and ranches out here tho further back.. i'm in an old subdivision tho mostly woods till lately a bunch of developers moved in building houses and setting up new trailers .. still a percent woods tho because some lots are owned by out of state investors
