Drum Tirta
The Way of the Water
In many cultures and belief systems, water is regarded as more than just a substance essential for life; it is seen as a living entity with its own consciousness, intelligence, and energy. From Shui in Taoism, Tirta in Bali, to Oshun in Yoruba and beyond, water symbolizes life, renewal, and connection, weaving through the tapestry of human history and unifying us all.
Quality Artisan Made
Tirta Drums are custom artisan drums made with chemical free Indonesian Goat skin and shibori dyed with locally grown indigo plants. The back's a carved Tree of Life and it arrives with a Yin-Yang Batik case. Drums are blessed in the Balinese water temples, and woven on astrologically significant days.
Plastic-Free Seas
Drum holders are advocates for the water. For each drum sold, Tirta partners with Bali local NGO Sungai Watch to remove 50lbs of plastic from ocean bound waters ways!
In the future we plan to extend these cleanup efforts to more waterways, like the Nile in Egypt and the Ganges in India.
Fairtrade
Ensuring a Fairtrade practice, we work closely with the Balinese families ensureing that the each maker- from the wood carver, to the drum weaver and bag seamstress, are all treated well and paid generously.
Drums sell for $333, which includes the designer case and hand made wooden mallet.
