Please note that this drum is gently used but in great condition. 

The chod drum is used in Chod practice. According to this practice, the sound of the chod drum proclaims impermanence and symbolizes the cutting through of egotism. Chod practitioners use the drum to summon dakas and dakinis to the dance of ego -annihilation and to summons spirits to the great feast. The dual bowl shaped drum has glued drum heads and is usually held in the right hand. It is played by twisting the wrist to activate a striker on each side. The center or waist of the Chod drum is decorated with a brocade band. The attached tail allows the drummer to hold and balance the drum. A padded drum cover allows the drum and tail to be stored safely.

Drum measures 7 3/4 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall. Brocade tail is approx 23 inches lng and 3 inches at the widest width.
