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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy moly this is the one! So worth it! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 15, 2026* So I was hesitant in spending so much on a drum I could not find many videos on. I took the chance & im so glad I did! This drum has such a bass like boom to it. It sent shivers to my body. Depending where you hit the drum it has different tones. What a good drum to have for many reasons. Sound healing and singing is what I’ll use it for. I’m hooked and want to take it anywhere & everywhere. Yes it’s large & in charge. Seems to be built well, sturdy and easy to handle. Beautiful black color with tan roping. So glad I took a chance! Fast shipping. Packed very well. Company sent some extra goodies. Even comes with two year warranty! Now I want to see what the others are like! So ready for my gatherings now! Video coming soon, although video doesn’t do the sound justice. You just can’t pick up how loud low and boomy it is. The sound resonates & you can feel the vibrations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warm resonance, solid build, and consistent sound *by on Reviewed in the United States June 2, 2026* This 16-inch buffalo drum is incredibly solid. The shell has a great weight to it—light enough to hold comfortably for long playing sessions, but dense enough that it doesn’t feel fragile. The textured finish on the side is subtle and premium-looking, with a matte texture that doesn’t show grease or fingerprints.In terms of playability, the pre-tuned synthetic head is the real highlight. Unlike natural hide, it doesn't warp or lose its pitch when the humidity changes, so you get a consistent, incredibly deep, and warm bass resonance every single time. The rope handle on the back is woven securely into a four-point grip that makes it simple to balance and hold without fatiguing your hand.The included mallet is a bit basic, but the soft-felt head draws out a really rich, low-frequency rumble without any harsh slapping sounds. It's a beautifully crafted, reliable frame drum that looks great and sounds even better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Punches above it's weight class! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 16, 2026* This drum sounds significantly better than it looks like it should, especially for it's size. It has a wonderful warm tone that carries nicely and cuts through other instrument without sounding abrasive. I get tons of compliments on it's sound every time I use it. You can get a couple different tones out of it depending on where you strike it. This drum literally makes you feel good to play it, or just to hear it. It's a "must have" addition to any sound bath arsenal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Remo Buffalo Drum - Black Earth, 16" - Remo E1-0316-00 Buffalo Drum - Standard, 16" - REMO Ocean Drum (ET-0216-71-SD009) black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/3746153-buffalo-drum-black-earth-16](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3746153-buffalo-drum-black-earth-16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
