Remo E1-0316-00 Buffalo Drum - Standard, 16"

Was hoping I made a good choice; I did. This drum can get quite loud and resonant.

Perfect size, great quality, beautiful sound. Easy to use.

My husband loves it, that's all that counts.

Omgosh this was absolutely perfect! I used this at a rowing regatta for my kids. It's best for outdoors if a sporting event like ours because it's very loud and for us it was perfect. It can be heard in all the videos take by others that weren't close by. Love this drum! Yes it was obnoxious but our kids heard us from the water and that was the purpose.

Perfect. I go through one of these drums about every 9 months or so with the strength at which I play and how often. But these are the best for traveling and not worrying about fluctuations in temperature. Very consistent drum. Always a lovely sound.

So this was my very first frame drum and I also ordered the very popular Remo 16" Buffalo Bahia Black Earth drum as well, which is arriving tomorrow. I listen to and watch videos from Norse/Celtic Pagan folk bands like EiWar, Eivor, Heilung, A Tergo Lupi, OTYKEN, Othala, Omnia, Faun, to name a few and wanted to play the drum like they do in their songs. I have been looking up my game and improve my rhythm as I play the Ukulele, acoustic Guitar, NAF, and the Tin Whistle. This will make me a better musician, and allow me to connect with the warrior and beast side within. The primal beats are calling.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this drum for my sound healings. Based off the reviews, I felt like it was gonna be the best one for the price. Plus, I loved that it was vegan. Boy oh boy this drum! This is seriously one of the coolest drums and sound I have ever heard. It echoes fantastically and it’s deep. It’s Definitely therapeutic and it vibrates in the most amazing sound. I can’t even say enough great things about it. This is perfect for shamanic journeying.I tried to capture it on video, but it does not do it justice. It’s even more special in person.

This drum arrived really quickly and sounds amazing! The only reason for 4.5 stars is it came with what looks like a sharpie marking on the skin of the drum…I’m not sure what happened and assume someone accidentally drew on it while packaging the drum. If it didn’t have a funky sharpie marking on it I would definitely give it a 5 star rating!! Pictured is the sharpie drawing on the drum.I am a sound healer and currently have an elk skin drum that I use for sessions, but the quality of sound changes so drastically depending on humidity levels that it wasn’t reliable for a nice ringing rich tone. This one sounds similar but will not change due to temperature and humidity! I’m super excited to try it out in sessions and sound baths!*edit* I contacted the seller directly and they instructed me to exchange the drum and said that was very unexpected and should not have been sent to me in that condition. They were super helpful and I will be sending the drum back and getting a new one!Edit again: I got the new one really quickly and sent out the one that had sharpie on it! The new one sounds great and is in perfect condition! Back to 5 stars!
