Description Inspired by the indigenous cultures of the Americas, Remo – Buffalo Drum has the same tonal characteristics found on traditional wood shell drums.   Tradition meets modern innovationThe Remo Buffalo Drum is a powerful instrument rooted in the drumming traditions of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and carries deep cultural significance. Remo honours this heritage by combining traditional form with modern materials. Crafted with Remo’s patented Acousticon® shell, this drum is made from 100% recycled wood fiber, offering the resonant warmth of natural wood while being far more weather-resistant. The Buffalo Drum also features a Fiberskyn® synthetic drumhead, which is pre-tuned for consistent tone. The Buffalo Drum is lightweight and easy to carry, with a comfortable rope handle for handheld play. Whether you’re leading a drum circle or performing, this instrument responds beautifully to both hand strikes and mallet use – producing powerful low vibrations with excellent projection and tonal clarity.

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
