Remo Bahia Buffalo Drum 16"x3,5"

I was a complete shamanic drum snob until I heard the Buffalo Remo drum many years ago and with my work as a shamanic and sound healer practitioner and as someone who works outside at festivals using my drum in most of my treatments, my hide drums are only great as long as the sun is out and it is warm otherwise forget it! So I was really pleased to finally get me this Buffalo drum. it is fab, has a lovely deep voice, is lightweight enough to drum for a long time, well made, and has nice gold string for the handle. Delivery was good, I buy a lot from Thomaan because normally everything goes really well and they are reasonable with their prices.

Been looking for a drum for Shamanic work that has a real resonance and response to touch. This was a suggestion and once I heard it, that was it! Perfect deep sound and volume with beater, along with quality response to all work with hands and fingers. Cannot stress just how pleased I am with this drum. I know it will be with me as a constant companion. I am now busy making a custom padded, waterproof bag for this beautiful instrument. The design and workmanship are A1 as one would expect from a maker like Remo. Extra plus is that you get all this without sourcing inhumanely. Just so smiley about this!
