Thai Rain Drum
About the Item
In traditional Asian and African cultures, "Rain Drums are hung under a waterfall or just in the rain and amongst other things. Water would fall on the tray of the drum which later would reverberate a sound so pure depending on the alloy itself. The sound, like a prayer to summon the spirit of rain, thus foretold a plentiful harvest."
