What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3.5 in. depth
Shallow frame, so the tone decays fairly quickly rather than ringing on like a deep drum.
Detail 03
Synthetic head
Holds pitch in any weather. Natural-hide buffalo drums go slack in humidity and need heat to bring back.
Detail 04
White finish
Plain, unpainted surface. Many players decorate it themselves.
Detail 05
Mallet-played
Designed to be struck with a beater, not fingers. Bare-hand playing gives a thin, muted sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Held by an internal grip, so one hand stays occupied
- 02Check whether a mallet is included before your first session
- 03Not tunable; pitch is fixed by the head and frame
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the head real buffalo hide?
No. It uses a synthetic head that mimics the sound of hide while staying stable in humidity and temperature changes.
02How deep does it sound?
At 14 inches it produces a low, round tone with a fairly short decay. It is warmer than a small frame drum but not as booming as a deep floor drum.
03Can I play it with my hands?
It responds best to a mallet. Hands work but give a much quieter, less resonant sound.
04Does it need tuning or maintenance?
No tuning. Wipe the head clean and keep it out of direct sun. The synthetic head does not need conditioning like natural hide.
