ceremonial drum
Sacred beating instrument
A ceremonial drum is a drum used in religious rituals, cultural celebrations, or formal observances rather than for entertainment or casual music-making.
Many indigenous cultures use ceremonial drums in spiritual practices, healing rituals, and community gatherings: The ceremonial drum called participants to the powwow.
Such drums often hold sacred significance and may be subject to protocols about who can play them and when.
