Remo Buffalo CST Trommel 22″ – Comfort Sound Technology (Synthetisches Fell)

What is a Remo Buffalo CST Drum?

The Remo Comfort Sound Technology (CST) Buffalo Drum was designed to provide a controlled and accessible sound suited to group settings, meditation practices, and therapeutic environments.

The CST drum head offers a balanced tonal range, producing both grounding bass notes and lighter tones with ease. This versatility allows the drum to function equally well in ceremony, meditation, sound therapy, and rhythmic musical work.

The drum is constructed with Remo’s Acousticon® shell, made from recycled wood fibre, providing durability, sustainability, and resistance to moisture.

Because of its reliable tone and comfortable playing response, the CST Buffalo Drum is widely used by:

• Reiki practitioners
• Shamanic practitioners
• Sound healing facilitators
• Meditation teachers
• Music therapists
• Ceremony leaders and drumming circles

Sound & Use

The CST Buffalo Drum produces a warm, controlled tone with a wide tonal range, making it suitable for both personal meditation and group ceremonial settings.

Its Comfort Sound Technology® drum head allows the drum to respond easily to different playing styles, producing deep grounding rhythms or lighter percussive accents depending on how it is played.

Because the drum uses a synthetic vegan drum head, the tone remains stable in changing environments and outdoor settings.

This makes the drum particularly popular for:

• Shamanic journeying and trance rhythm work
• Reiki drumming and energy healing circles
• Sound healing sessions and sound therapy
• Meditation and breathwork practices
• Fire ceremonies and sweat lodge gatherings
• Group drumming circles and ritual settings
• Personal grounding and rhythmic meditation

The drum can be played either by hand or with the included beater, allowing practitioners to explore a wide range of rhythmic textures.
