{"product_id":"sela-percussion-shaman-drum-buffalo-18-407450","title":"Shaman Drum Buffalo 18\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eContexte historique et positionnement dans la gamme\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross many cultures, the frame drum has been used as a tool for rhythm, trance, and storytelling, valued for its direct connection between gesture and sound. With the Sela Shamanic Drums series, Sela positions itself in this tradition by offering instruments that focus on \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic materials\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ehandcrafted approach\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Buffalo version stands out for its characteristic depth and resonance, aimed at players seeking a strong, rooted voice for ritual work, meditation, sound journeys, or simply a raw and organic frame-drum tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eÀ qui s'adresse cette batterie\/ce tambour\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 18-inch shamanic drum is a great fit for \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e who want an expressive, no-complication percussion instrument, and for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e practitioners who need a dependable companion for regular ceremonies, breathwork, yoga sessions, or sound healing. Musically, it shines in ambient, world, tribal and cinematic contexts, but it is just as convincing for minimalist grooves and pulse-based improvisation. The 18-inch format offers a balanced feel: large enough for presence and low-end authority, while remaining manageable for long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFonctionnalités et nouveautés\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sela Buffalo 18 is built around a \u003cstrong\u003edurable wooden frame\u003c\/strong\u003e paired with a \u003cstrong\u003enatural buffalo-hide head\u003c\/strong\u003e. This simple, traditional construction is precisely what gives the instrument its character: immediate response, wide dynamic range, and a tactile connection to every stroke. The \u003cstrong\u003enatural-hide handle\u003c\/strong\u003e supports stable playing and control of articulation, while the included \u003cstrong\u003ewooden beater\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a versatile starting point for both soft, rounded pulses and more defined accents. Because each drum uses natural materials and is handmade, every piece develops its own subtle personality in texture, tension, and overtones, reinforcing the feeling of owning a truly individual instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLa sonorité\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sound of a frame drum is largely shaped by two elements: the \u003cstrong\u003etype of hide\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003erigidity of the frame\u003c\/strong\u003e. Buffalo hide is known for delivering a \u003cstrong\u003edeeper fundamental\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003edense, earthy resonance\u003c\/strong\u003e that supports meditative pulses and sustained drones. Compared to lighter hides, it tends to feel more grounded, with a low-mid presence that carries well in a room and wraps around the listener rather than sounding sharp or thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wooden frame contributes to projection and stability, helping the drum speak with clarity while keeping the tone organic and warm. With the beater, you can explore a wide palette: soft strokes for a round, enveloping thump; firmer hits for more definition and drive; and controlled rebounds to create steady heart-like rhythms. In calm environments, the drum's natural sustain and overtones can become part of the experience, supporting long, evolving textures that work beautifully for mindfulness, relaxation, and guided journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaractéristiques techniques\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\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaille de l'instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatégorie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eà main\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eframe drums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatériau\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ebois\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType de peau\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBuffle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessoires inclus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBaguettes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCouleur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eNaturel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamètre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e45.72 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\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\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaille\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ediametre 45 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e18 pouces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sela Percussion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358024028435,"sku":"407450","price":109.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/d67c08e4713922adca3dde5c8053b68b0f4653b5_SELA_SESHD18B_bb0e3905-28c4-4601-bcd1-065a92eca115.jpg?v=1787440396","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.lu\/products\/sela-percussion-shaman-drum-buffalo-18-407450","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
