Such power...connection...what a blessing for me to see this. You represent Mother Earth in her power and beauty...was this an Earth blessing song...like the Heart of the Earth? I will listen to this over and over again! Best Lynn in New Mexico

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Thank you. It was an opening welcoming song. The drum represents teh first sound we hear which is the pulse of our mother blood pulsing through her arteries while we were fetuses in her womb. The drum as the shape of the circle represent all that this archetypal shape represents which includes the sun, the moon and the earth.

Wauw what a great idea! Never thought of doing/trying this. Thanks for sharing :D

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Did you try it?

[@SoulcentricAstrology]

I was introduced to singing into the drum many years ago now and I’ve never known anyone else to do this practice other than the lady who taught me !!

[@SoulcentricAstrology]

Oh wow ! Yes it was Karen Renee !!

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Wonderful you've been singing into the drum for many years. ON IG so many videos and photos now of people singing into the drum. I've been doing it since early 90's. A lot of my singing friends started doing it. Curious who taught you? And you accidently found my video?

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

@@SoulcentricAstrology Ah, yes I remember when she first was getting started. She learned from Iliana. I got to later meet Karen at the Asheville Percussion Festival as I was teaching there.

[@SoulcentricAstrology]

I got my drum from her in 2017 I’m pretty sure maybe the year previous. Singing into the drum activated my spirit big time and it’s been a passion of mine and a practice that I hold very dear to my heart. I don’t do Instagram or Facebook so I’m out of the loop in that regards. I was listening to Marla Leigh’s album, got inspired and thought to myself that I would actually like to incorporate more actual drumming in my practice, I do play around a bit with the sounds and was aware of the elemental connections to certain ways we make sound with the drum, but really not so much, so I thought last night I would like to learn and looked up beginner drumming videos and found you, and also learned about Eliana and that I am a part of an actual lineage of the revival of the frame drum, which feels special to me being mostly lone wolf. So grateful for the work you all have been doing since I was just a little girl born in the early 90s !!

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

@@SoulcentricAstrology wonderful to hear you want to learn also how to play the drum and followed the thread with Marla, me and Eliana. Yes a modern lineage inspired by the ancients. Layne Redmond my late teacher wrote a book called When the Drummers Were Women writing about the women in the ancient Mediterranean area. She is like the mother of the modern frame drum movement inspiring thousands to drum, especially women. Bless your explorations and discoveries.

[@elspethfougere9683]

Very beautiful thank you for the encouragement, and the tip to start with the base tone, it makes sense to meet the existing sound waves

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

You are welcome. How is the singing going with the drum now?

[@ancienttempleofma]

Amazing

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Thank you!

[@claudinecrook6660]

I signed up for your course and am ready to sing into my drum. So glas I found you!

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Oh so wonderful you signed up and ready for your drum journey!! Did you just randomly find this channel? Enjoy the courses!!

[@RebeccaAbraxas]

thank you so much, this was really helpful .. I've been sining for a long time and just got a frame drum for Christmas. I'm excited to sing with it!!

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

You are welcome. It's a wonderful experience. I think you'll love it! How has it been?

[@RebeccaAbraxas]

@@FrameDrumCircleSongs I just did my first performance at Unity of Boulder Church with my drum and singing with it. I was nervous but did a prayer for support and it worked out well

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

@@RebeccaAbraxas That is wonderful!! Happy to hear!

[@mojomine1861]

Thank You 🐝🧷🌻

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

You are welcome dear!

[@GoogleUser-jq6mx]

Is there a name to the beautiful song at the beginning?

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Thank you. It is a spontaneous opening song so there is no name for it.

[@soniapigalova]

Thank you Miranda. I have a shamanic hoop drum which I'm just starting to get aquainted with. I would like to sing into it as a way of practicing sacred intuitive music but I don't know if it's Ok to use a shamanic drum like that and I'm afraid to mess with unseen things I don't quite understand yet. Is there somethig I should know before trying, some safety rules, dos and don'ts and general recomendations specifically for a shamanic drum?

[@tremonryan]

Incredible! Please could you tell me what drum that is it sounds fantastic

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Thank you. This is a Cooperman black ebony suede (synthetic) head frame drum.www.coopermanframedrums.com/ But the best place to look is on their facebook page as they post photos of recent drums that are available.

[@poppytwist6631]

Thank you for this interesting video. Is the renaissance head better than the fiberskyn for singing into on the Remo drums? I have a 13 inch renaissance drum.

[@shamasmantra]

I prefer renaissance for singing into the drum as it is more resonant than fiberskyn. The funnest ones to sing into are the larger drums as the reverberation is longer.

[@cinejan]

I wish this were louder, hard to hear and I wish I could hear you better.

[@FrameDrumCircleSongs]

Wish you could too. Not sure why. I can hear mine loud on my computer. Did you double check the volume on the video itself?

[@cinejan]

@@FrameDrumCircleSongs I just checked on my phone and I can hear you at least at the beginning... I'm not sure why it fizzled on my laptop.
