With the Shamanic Drum series, Sela continues this tradition by offering handcrafted drums that prioritize \u003cstrong\u003enatural materials\u003c\/strong\u003e and a deliberately stripped-down approach focused on the essentials: vibration, rhythmic breath, and resonance. The \u003cstrong\u003eBuffalo\u003c\/strong\u003e model with a 50 cm diameter stands as a generously sized option, designed to provide a notable sound presence, both for personal practice and group circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Shamanic Drum Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sela Shamanic Drum Buffalo 20-inch is suitable for both \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced practitioners\u003c\/strong\u003e : no complex technique is required to achieve a full sound, and the instrument responds immediately to a steady pulse. It is especially aimed at musicians and facilitators seeking a drum for \u003cstrong\u003emeditation\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esound journeys\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebreathwork practices\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erituals\u003c\/strong\u003e, or vocal accompaniment. In terms of styles, it naturally fits into world music, ambient, folk, as well as sound creation when an organic, broad, and lively rhythmic foundation is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model follows the traditional design of the \u003cstrong\u003eframe drum\u003c\/strong\u003e : a wooden hoop over which a natural skin is stretched. The advantage of this construction lies in its \u003cstrong\u003eresponsiveness\u003c\/strong\u003e and the physical sensation of vibration, very useful for establishing a steady and immersive tempo. The \u003cstrong\u003enatural skin handle\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures a secure hold, especially when alternating between center strikes and strikes closer to the edge. The \u003cstrong\u003eincluded wooden mallets\u003c\/strong\u003e allow exploration of different playing intentions, from soft and round beats to more pronounced attacks, depending on gesture and striking area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebuffalo skin\u003c\/strong\u003e is often sought after for its sense of depth and density. It tends to produce a more \u003cstrong\u003edark\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efull\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, with a resonance that easily fills the space, ideal for establishing a stable and enveloping pulse. In a 20-inch format, this impression of a \"foundation\" is particularly appreciable: the fundamental note sounds broader, and the vibration is felt as much as heard, enhancing the immersive aspect in meditation or group settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ewooden frame\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to projection and the character of the timbre: it supports the skin and influences how the striking energy propagates. By varying the impact zone (center for a rounder sound, edge for a sharper attack), a simple yet expressive palette is obtained. The mallet also allows refining the intention: a lighter strike favors softness and the breathing of the sound, while a firmer strike emphasizes attack and rhythmic presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eLarge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehandheld\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eframe drums\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eanimal skin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBuffalo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSticks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e50.8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrum skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebuffalo skin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003enatural skin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e50 cm diameter (20 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sela Percussion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356612808979,"sku":"407451","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/f815b8718d2b158d736ad18c3c19464856f3a201_SELA_SESHD20B.jpg?v=1787440418","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sela-percussion-shaman-drum-buffalo-20-407451","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
