Drum Collection

The “Drums of the World” collection by Ulli Siebenborn offers a unique insight into the cultural significance of drums as central objects of human societies.

Drums are far more than musical instruments: they connect sound, body, communication, spirituality, power, and aesthetics.
As ritual media, they accompany key transitions in life, enable collective experiences, and in many cultures serve as systems of communication, such as the “talking drums.”

With a regional focus on Africa, the Himalayas, and New Guinea, the collection highlights the diversity of cultural contexts in which drums function as expressions of community, religious practice, and social order.
At the same time, they are finely crafted objects in which function, symbolism, and aesthetics are inseparably intertwined.

The drum thus emerges as a complex cultural medium—and as a universal element that connects people and cultures across the world.
