The solo drumming on this disc is an outstanding example of
impeccable, uninterrupted shamanic journey drumming in the classic mode by
Michael Harner, internationally recognized teacher and practitioner of
shamanism.
His large, single head, round frame, hand drum produces the
full range of the auditory spectrum, from pulsing low frequency throb to the
subtle midrange nuances and high frequency overtones.
The double drumming, which some journeyers prefer, is Laos
done by Michael Harner, assisted by David Corbin. Both are using single head,
round frame drums.
The drums are beaten facing each other at a slight angle,
about four feet apart, to produce the maximum effect without excessive
reverberation.
This is not music, but is to be used as instructed in Michael
Harner's book, The Way of the Shaman.
