More Details
The difference in pitch (note) between the sizes:
As a rule –Â The larger the drum, the larger the bass resonance.
If you’re looking for a deep and rich bass note then go for the Large or (even better) the XL. The XL especially has a bass note that you will feel right through your body.
The XL is larger and heavier—so keep this in mind when choosing.

Difference in Handles
The hide handle style uses the ancient system whereby the same goat skin is used for the handle as for the head of the drum.
The felt handle style is a soft and comfortable alternative.
The Frame Drum is reputed by some to be the first skin drum to exist.
It is used across the world in ceremonies and other occasions.
Our shamanic frame drums (also knows as medicine drums), are hand crafted using a ring and rope system on a sturdy, wooden frame made from teak wood and meranti wood.
