Excellent, durable drum
By Renna Shesso
I've had my 16" Remo Buffalo Drum for 5-6 years, buying it after my made-by-my-own-hands elk-skin drum went dead in damp weather once too often. I love my handmade drum, but the Remo is fail-proof: NO tone change with moisture, even during hours in a Sweat Lodge. It also won't shrink and crack if left in a hot car. It's also quite lightweight, a concern if you'll be drumming for extended periods.Of possible interest to vegans and others on a nature-oriented path: No tree was sacrificed to create the frame, no animal for the head. The materials are entirely human-created. I was initially concerned this might feel soul-less, but that hasn't been the case. The head can be painted and takes acrylic very well; mine is decorated on the inside of the frame, using colored pencils.Plays great with a beater - very resonant, so you needn't knock yourself out whacking it hard - and also yields a variety of tones when played by hand. NOTE: The beater that comes with this drum feels quite short (but it fits inside the drum). I replaced mine with one with a longer stick (which doesn't fit completely inside the drum) and a fleece-padded head, which I prefer for the sound.Anyway, a great product and seemingly indestructible!
