I know other Remo Buffalo drums can be painted does this have the same type of material so I can paint a design on it? I have a beautuful design that would look great on the black and go wonderful with a bass sound. Thank you

I asked this question myself -- and was told by West Music's Alex Adams (one of the folks who made the YouTube video on Remo drums) that the skin of the Buffalo drum is not absorptive, it's a bit like naugahyde vinyl. That quality plus being constantly beat means that it would be very difficult for any paint to last. I did not ask about painting the sides, however, and they are covered with a fairly rough burlap feeling material. That may have potential. . . .

It should paint up nicely- they come on an peel-away paper backing which is similar to what body shops use for masking tape. It's all a matter of taste, but I think black-on-black would look really slick.

I agree - almost anything can be painted black - not sure why you would want to - the natural finish I think is very nice

My drummer really likes it. I've had two drummers play the kit with reckless abandon...they seem to really have fun with it. Go give it a try. Kind of like shoes...try it on. Then make your decision...But worth trying on.... it really is an exquisitely quiet kit....and that is due to the bass pedal config.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

yes. A friend of mine painted his and it looked good and worked fine. One advice is not to give it too many coats of paint .

hi Kyle D...no, I thought the violin would look like the picture because the wood looks rich and the violin strings looks like it would have a deep sound to it. However, if you haven't bought the violin yet..good.. I would spend a little more money on a good violin that would last you a long time..my mendini is still in the box oh and the strings on the violin are cheap..thank you for asking I hoped I help :) Deanne allen

Currently BumpTek products are only available in a black finish. I would not recommend trying to paint/spray a Bumptek product with flex-paint as the paint will more than likely just peel or crack.

I have friends that own the other buffalo drums and always admired how they did not get loose in humid weather, but when i heard this drum, I was sold. I have only had it for 6 months, but I do not think it does require any tuning. it is solid and made with two synthetic heads instead of one to give it deep boom base.

do a google search and I'll bet you'll find a ton of videos, probably on YouTube...I am currently practicing the Native American flute, and am watching videos on YouTube...it's as good as having a 1 on 1 class...I am going to buy this drum, it is another instrument I have a great desire to learn

I didn't have to paint it. My daughters Altima is black. I guess you could sand it and paint it whatever color you want. I would think they have different colors though.

Yes. Very easy to do and looks great. I spray painted mine black and can't tell that they were not professionally painted.

No- But interesting you asked. I bought the Drum and sold it to a friend of mine that shapes sheet metal-he's a true artist. and soon will be building metal stands for this unit and for other electric drum kits. it will be functional and beautiful I suggested "art deco" from the 1930's very retro looking with a speaker built into it. This would look incredible on stage or in your living room as an art object. if your interested in being one of the first to own one call me at 818-961-7024 MAXX

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

I think yes you could paint it. But a strong advice think twice. Like " kireviewer " said, please contact Polk before you do it. If not the end finish with your job will not give you a good result. Good luck to to you.
