Is Shamanic Drumming music?

🎵 Yes and no—depending on how you define “music.” Shamanic drumming is deeply rhythmic and sonic, but its purpose goes far beyond entertainment or artistic expression.

Here’s how it breaks down:

🌀 Functional vs. Musical Intent

• Not conventional music: Shamanic drumming isn’t composed for performance or aesthetic pleasure. It’s designed to induce trance states, facilitate spiritual journeys, and support healing rituals.
• Functional rhythm: The drum acts as a tool—a “horse of the shaman”—carrying the practitioner into altered states of consciousness through repetitive beats, often around 4–7 beats per second, which align with theta brainwave frequencies [2].

🌍 Cultural and Spiritual Context

• Sacred instrument: In many indigenous traditions, the drum is considered sacred, used to connect with spirit realms, ancestors, or nature’s rhythms [1].
• Ritualistic music: While it uses musical elements like rhythm and tone, shamanic drumming is part of a broader ritual, not a musical performance in the Western sense [3].

🧠 Psychological and Healing Effects

• Alters brainwaves: Studies show that rhythmic drumming can shift brain activity, promoting relaxation, introspection, and emotional release [1].
• Healing tool: It’s often used for soul retrieval, energetic clearing, and emotional processing in communal or solo settings [2].

So while it’s not “music” in the traditional sense, it absolutely uses sound as a transformative medium. Would you like to hear a sample or explore how to use it in your own practice?

Is sound therapy music?

Sound therapy isn’t exactly the same as music, though music can be one form of it.
• Sound therapy is the use of sound frequencies, vibrations, and tones to promote relaxation, healing, and well-being. It can involve instruments like singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes, or even the human voice. The focus is often on the therapeutic qualities of sound rather than entertainment.

• Music therapy, on the other hand, uses structured music—songs, rhythms, or melodies—delivered by a trained therapist to support emotional, cognitive, or physical health.

So, sound therapy may feel like music at times (especially if instruments or harmonics are used), but it’s usually more about vibration and resonance than melody or rhythm.

Was great to do 2 Wah Wah tube Sound Therapy sessions at Pagan Tribal Gathering 2025.

Wah Wah Tube Sound Therapy Benefits

The Wah Wah Tube, also known as a vibration or thunder tube, is a simple yet powerful sound healing instrument that produces a resonant, echoing “wah-wah” sound when gently shaken or tapped. Though modest in appearance, it offers a range of therapeutic benefits, especially when used in sound baths, meditation, or energy healing sessions.

The unique sound vibrations created by the Wah Wah Tube can:
• Promote deep relaxation – Its soothing, pulsating tones help calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.
• Release energetic blockages – The vibrations may help shift stagnant energy and bring flow to areas of tension within the body or aura.
• Enhance meditation – The echoing sound creates a spacious, atmospheric effect that supports a deeper meditative state.
• Support emotional release – The organic, otherworldly tones can help access and release buried emotions, encouraging emotional balance and clarity.
• Stimulate creativity and intuition – Its unusual soundscape can open the mind, spark inspiration, and deepen intuitive awareness.

Lightweight and easy to use, the Wah Wah Tube is a versatile addition to any sound healer’s toolkit, offering a playful yet potent way to shift energy and invite harmony.

A good read.

I remember 10 years ago now there wasn't a day that went by without me listening to some binaural beats (otherwise known as brainwave entrainment). In recent times this habit has waned but I've decided to get back into relaxing with sound frequencies as part of a self care ritual. What's the sayi...
