Review: Amazing and outstanding! - 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 desertcart 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!
Review: Love this drum! - Purchased as a ceremonial drum and love the deep resonating sound! Would highly recommend this!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this drum!

Purchased as a ceremonial drum and love the deep resonating sound! Would highly recommend this!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly deep bass timbre and highly dynamic
*by P***Y on November 10, 2018*

I'm an acoustic guitarist and spend a lot of time in my studio recording. To get things done, I've learned to be a multi-instrumentalist and play percussion in backing tracks. I needed the sound of a bass drum and bought this 16" Remo Buffalo Drum. The deep pitch—a low G—and beautiful timbre of this drum knocked my socks off. It literally rattled the walls and I felt the vibrations in my chest! I can easily simulate a kick drum by muting the head with my hand. I own a several Remo frame drums and, while they're good, none are as dynamically responsive as this Buffalo Drum. A feather light hit, and hear a gentle pianissimo but a modest smack delivers a jaw rattling fortissimo! In other words, you don't have to muscle this drum to get a full range of dynamics. Effortless! The Buffalo Drum is attractive in a gothic way and construction is top notch. I like the well tied rope grip. In fact, holding by the frame dampens the sound so the handle is actually needed for this design. The stick is on the light side—I'd prefer a beefy hardwood stick—but it sounds great. The rubber head bundled in fabric creates a perfect bass timbre. I tried my felt and foam sticks but they didn't sound nearly as good as the included stick. Unlike my other Remo frame drums, the Buffalo Drum is made in the USA! Great job Remo!
