Benthic Drums
A driftwood-and-whalehide drum sharpens musical flair, lets its player speak with whales, and can summon a deafening cry from the deep.
This large bass drum is made of driftwood and whale hide, with swirling shapes that hint at more distinct and sinister forms carved on its surface. This drum grants you a +2 item bonus to Performance checks while playing music with the instrument. You can communicate basic ideas with whales and other large sea animals by playing music with this instrument.
