Calf (Buffalo) Natural Skin for Shamanic Drum | Drum | Doumbek | Djembes, Flat R

Sustainable Buffalo Hides:

Many of our buffalo hides are sourced from North America, where buffalo populations are carefully managed and monitored for sustainability.
We partner with suppliers who prioritize ethical and humane treatment of animals, often working with ranches that practice free-range and natural grazing methods.
Buffalo hides are often a byproduct of the meat industry, allowing us to utilize the entire animal and minimize waste.
Other Animal Hides:

We also offer hides from other animals like deer, elk, and goat. These hides are sourced from regulated populations in areas where they are not endangered.
We maintain strict standards for responsible and ethical hide procurement. We prioritize working with suppliers who respect animal welfare and participate in sustainable harvesting practices.
Our Commitment to Transparency:

We are continuously working to improve our sourcing practices. We’re actively seeking out partnerships with indigenous communities and small-scale producers committed to traditional and sustainable hide preparation methods.
Details on Origin: If you’re interested in a specific product, please reach out to us. We’re more than happy to provide further information about the hide’s origin and supplier practices for that specific item.
