Review: Enorm mooie, warme natuurlijke klank - Uitmuntend mooie, warme klanken. Speelt heel fijn. Kheb zelf nog andere tippers, sticks etc gekocht, dan kan je nog meer verschillende geluiden eruit krijgen. Zelfs met je eigen duim vind ik hem ook heel mooi klinken; dat klinkt zacht maar heel mooi. Met een drumstick met zo'n grote witte knots, klinkt het harder maar toch warm. De toon zit tussen de D en E in. Dus vóór echte muzikanten is het te horen, maar voor de meeste mensen klinkt het gewoon heel mooi en aangenaam. Het geluid is ook heel puur; het komt uit de natuur en verdwijnt weer in de natuur. Zelfs de eenden kwamen er opaf, ze kwamen naar me toe zwemmen en bleven als een klein groepje er relaxt naar luisteren. Zó mooi.
Review: This is my new and favourite drum - I practice shamanic drumming for ceremony and just every day to feel good. For anyone that likes to drum, I know it's unusual to use a synthetic skin, but my oh my, the sound that comes from this drum is incredible. It is resilient, and even with a bit of drizzle in the air I was not worried about it getting loose or the frame getting warped. It's just a whole different experience than using animal skin drums, and if you are vegan, this would be a great alternative. I have played this drum in every type of weather and each time it rewards me with different overtones, my other drums will soon get lonely. Price point also is very good considering the size of the drum, nice deep tones. Comes well packaged, but the shipping process was fraught with difficulties in customs, while I impatiently waited for it's arrival, it was busy for a week sitting in customs. Sign of the times. Just happy to have it and highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I know other Remo Buffalo drums can be painted does this have the same type of material so I can paint a design on it? I have a beautuful design that would look great on the black and go wonderful with a bass sound. Thank you**
A: I asked this question myself -- and was told by West Music's Alex Adams (one of the folks who made the YouTube video on Remo drums) that the skin of the Buffalo drum is not absorptive, it's a bit like naugahyde vinyl.  That quality plus being constantly beat means that it would be very difficult for any paint to last.  I did not ask about painting the sides, however, and they are covered with a fairly rough burlap feeling material.  That may have potential. . . .

**Q: What is your experience with the mallet that comes with this drum?  Any advice on choosing an alternative?**
A: Sometimes I can hit pretty hard and the mallet that comes with this drum would scratch the drum face. I highly recommend throwing away the included mallet and invest in a felt or yarn mallet around $25-30 (comes in pack of 2). You will get a better quality tone and resonance.

**Q: What kind of bag is appropriate for this Drum?**
A: Depending on where you're going with it and who is handling it, a regular drum bag is good enough for you if you have care of the drum ..

**Q: is it possible to play this as a frame drum as well as with the beater?**
A: It is possible to play it as a frame drum but due to the thickness and fabric style head it doesn't have the sensitivity you find on a thin film frame drum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and outstanding!
*by A***P on 27 July 2023*

I was a little hesitant to buy this drum. There are not really many videos I could find to see the quality and sound of the drum. I was going to get a handmade drum with an animal hide, but it was out of my price range. I saw a video on Gaia and the shaman was using this drum. I decided to look it up on Amazon and saw the price and the great reviews. The shaman did mention that it was good for high humidity areas. I live in the south and we are constantly humid especially in the summer. I was blown away with the quality and the sound of this drum! It is absolutely amazing and outstanding! The vibration off this drum really resonates, you can feel it within your body it's awesome! I would not hesitate to purchase this drum if anyone is thinking about it. It is made very well, and the quality is top-notch! I have already recommended it to friends and one of them has already made the purchase. If you want a great quality sounding drum, for a great price, this is it!
