The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is inspired by the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Equipped with a rope handle and a single mallet. The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is manufactured with Remo’s Fiberskyn drumheads and patented Acousticon drum shells for enhanced durability in any environment. Producing the same tonal characteristics found on traditional wood shell drums, the standard Buffalo Drums feature excellent projection and enhanced low-pitched fundamentals.
12” requires 7 feet of rope. 14” requires 10 feet of rope. 16” requires 11.5 feet of rope. 22” requires 14 feet of rope. Insert the rope to the right of the seam from inside the drum through the hole and back into the drum. Tie knot to the end and pull rope. For Buffalos with six sets of holes, pull and feed the rope through the holes forming a star; if it has 4 set holes, just go across from each other forming a cross as shown. Creating the Handle Bring the rope under the star and pull rope, bringing all end to center of the drum, same for 6 sets of holes and 4 sets of holes. Start winding the two arms of the star as shown. For the number of winding loops per side, please refer to chart: 12” = 7 loops per side on handle 14” = 8 loops per side on handle 16” = 9 loops per side on handle 22” = 10 loops per side on handle Once you are done winding on one side, bring the rope under to the other side and do the same process. To secure the end of the rope when you are done, simply pass it in between two ropes as shown.
Remo’s original Buffalo drum was made with a durable 1/4-inch SISAL rope. Although the use of this rope has long been discontinued and replaced with an improved version, many original Buffalo drums are still in use today and might require some adjustments. The Buffalo drum rope handle can become a little loose during the life of playing the drum so you may find a need to make it more secure.
