I use a brand named Golden Hi Flo acrylic paints on my Remo drums. They act like watercolor paints. I apply them with the drum laid flat. Just a different, beautiful result. These paints are so ethereal they wont dull the sound of your drum.

[@CarolinNobles]

Thanks for sharing that wisdom with us!

[@SageKistler]

Have you painted a black Remo Bahia Buffalo Drum (E1-1316-BE) yet? If yes, how did that turn out? What process and what paints did you use?

[@veejayroth]

The combination of you talking, the drum touching sound and songs in the background gives me the best unintentional ASMR.

[@CarolinNobles]

Haha, nice ☺️

[@TOSAINU-l4g]

Thank you so much for your sharing🙏🏼 You made me brave and encouraged to personalise my own drum which is still in stage of wish. I only know once I have it I need to paint it myself. By this video you did something very valuable for many people❤️

[@CarolinNobles]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! You can do it and you will! 😇

[@lenilecker_vegan4dogs]

Thank you so much for sharing. So beautiful. Looking forward to paint my drum soon.

[@CarolinNobles]

[@bricloutier2019]

Marvelous work you do. I love the remo frame drums, been a musician most of my life, playing with friends etc and now I want to push it forward, maybe sell and personalize drums like you do and you've inspired me greatly. Thank you! ♡♡♡

[@TheQuakingPoplar]

Thank you, Carolin! I have two Remo drums waiting to be painted and I've been procrastinating. :) Great video and beautiful paintings!

[@paopamaki]

Thanks you very much beautiful! It's just amazing...Today a women asked me to paint her drum and i didn't know about wish material to use for this fiberskyn that i never saw before. I am so happy i found your video about exactly the same drum! Again thanks you very much that you did it. I also i love your voice and i love your natural way of doing this video...Have beautiful life time....Påo Pamaki

[@blindwithbarbells4955]

This is a lovely video and you create amazing works of art! I have been on the Shamanic path for a year and a half now and want to start working with the drum but couldn't find one that speaks to me. This gives me inspiration to paint my own. I wouldn't have any idea of how to do it until now. I can't wait to paint mine. Thank you so much!

[@CarolinNobles]

Enjoy painting your own and make it yours! A lovely process that brings you close to the instrument and your spirit.

[@krisztinab.4958]

Blessings to you beautiful soul! Your input is highly appreciated ✨ Excellent video, easy to understand. Pure sharing. My first drum's been just dispatched yesterday. I'm so excited to see it in real, touch it, play it, get to know each other. With your video I'm getting ready for the painting. Thank you so much for making this! Namaste 💛

Vielen Dank für das Viedeo. Bitte entschuldige das ich mich erst jetzt bedanke. Ich bin nicht so technisch begabt, habe ihr Viedeo vor Jahren gesehen, obwohl ich kein englisch kann, doch mein Herz hat verstanden was sie sagen und habe nun eine Trommel und habe sie mit ihrer anleitung verschönert. Vielen Dank. Mögen alle Wesen glücklich sein und in Frieden Leben🙏🏻🕉

Cool, freut mich!

[@rebekahb6292]

Dear siSTAR...you are a beautiful and gentle soul bringing so much love into this world. Bless you! I, too, am an artist, and other things... ♥️To the point, when I trace my design, using carbon paper as well, I use a RED pencil. This shows where I've traced, or not. Blessed be.

[@CarolinNobles]

That's a cool idea! I trace them many times, not just once as I redo some designs for clients, but for people who just make one design, that is an amazing solution!

[@larasciaraffa9110]

I used a colored pen too. The transfer was very smooth!

[@iamjoshuamichael_]

Oh my goodness.. I literally had a vision of painting my remo buffalo drum the EXACT same pattern! so synchronous... thank you!!!

[@gemfisher-highvibe6628]

Thank you, my son and I just painted his snare drum and it's gone a bit flaky, I wondered whether to do layers and then seal but didn't know which sealant would be fine and flexible so as not to effect the sound 🙂

[@CarolinNobles]

It is good to only apply paint thinly as otherwise it comes off

[@nalineediosara7654]

Thank you 😊

[@russellsatori]

Thank you very much!

[@aliprovidence9321]

Thank you so much so helpfull

[@sternenkreis1328]

Thank you for sharing. I've been following you on FB and love your art. I am wondering, what spray are you using and why is it necessary. I am reluctant to paint my drum as I can play it even in the rain and sometimes the raindrops do the music. What happens when the drum is painted with acrylic paint and it's raining?

[@CarolinNobles]

The varnish is needed so the paint doesn't come off after playing it. It also protects the colors. A few drops of rain wouldn't be a problem, if it is varnished. I would still not let it soak in the rain, because of the frame. I use Molotow UV varnish.

[@olgahorozaniecka6169]

Amazing job! ☺️ I love your videos. I just bought my remo drum and Im ready to paint it but I’m just wondering if it’s necessary to spray it after my painting? What if I will not spray and leave the paint as it is?

[@CarolinNobles]

It needs varnishing or the paint will come off after a while of playing

[@olgahorozaniecka6169]

Oh, now I know ☺️ thank you!

[@elisatassancaser7148]

Hi Caroline! well, first o f all ...happy new year...and than....can i ask you something? I built up my drum, with buffalo skin. I saw your video and i see that you are using acrilyc paint...do you think that can i used oil paint too? thanks for your opinion

[@CarolinNobles]

I haven‘t tried that but probably yes, with a different kind of varnish.

[@SageKistler]

Does this process also work for the black remo Bahia Buffalo Drum (E1-1316-BE). It seems to have a different finish than the white remo buffalo drum. Thank you!

[@CarolinNobles]

The Bahia drum is different. It needs to be sanded first, then cover the whole thing with acrylic paint, then varnish.

[@claudiab2596]

Thank you very much for this great video. If you use several layers like the galaxy one, do you use varnish on every layer or only the last?

[@CarolinNobles]

Only at the end

[@claudiab2596]

@@CarolinNobles thank you

[@jillgeary1313]

Hi Caro! Thank you for this video. My drum should be arriving soon. Two questions: 1. Do you think using a stencil would work - with the acrylic pens? or maybe need a stencil brush and the acrylic paint? 2. Do you think the spray on varnish makes the drum stiffer and affects the tone? Thank you!

[@CarolinNobles]

A stencil could work. I haven't tried. I don't notice a difference in sound with the varnish. It is just a very thin layer.

[@dennisdefelice8909]

There is a product called “Goof Off” that removes that printed logo.

[@CarolinNobles]

Interesting

[@astamalciute7876]

What a great tutorial! Thank you so much! I just bought a black buffalo drum and was looking for ways to paint it :) Have you done any work on black drums?

[@CarolinNobles]

I have stopped painting the black bahia drums as the paint came off. With the coating it is hard to paint. So I stick to the white ones.

[@drbrandykaye]

Where did you get you stand for you chimes? 🙏💙

[@catherinesalazar2113]

Thanks for this!! I'd like to pain mine. Can you use oil painting or will it affect the sound? is it just acrylic?

[@CarolinNobles]

I think oil paint should be possible too but I haven‘t tried it.

[@catherinesalazar2113]

@@CarolinNobles Thank you, Carolin. I think I'll stick with acrylics, because it is my first drum and too pretious to me... I don't want to affect its sound. I'll experiment with my next ones 😊

[@CarolinNobles]

I hope it went well

[@lucapaoluzzi1053]

Great job Carolin, thank you so much for sharing this! I have a quick question for you: do you have any experience with the decoupage technique on this type of drum? I am wondering if it is even feasible. Thanks again!

[@CarolinNobles]

No I don‘t sorry

[@claudiab2596]

I have another question. If you paint the drum and do it over multiple days. Is it possible to play them in between? Or does it hurt the paint and is it better to wait till it's varnished? I am thinking starting a framedrum course and am wondering if i can experiment with paint without hampering my practice.

[@CarolinNobles]

Don't play it in between, finish the painting and varnish first.

[@aubreebaer5823]

I'm inspired but I'm worried the paint will make the drum sound different. Do you notice any difference after it's painted? Thank you

[@CarolinNobles]

No it is fine. Just be sure to only apply the paint thinnly.

[@annalouisestewart9139]

Does anyone have experience spray varnishing a black remo drum? The surface is quite different from the white.

[@CarolinNobles]

I've done it a few times. The Black Bahia Drum isn't so great for painting I find. At least not for my workflow. The surface remained tacky after spraying. I'd rather paint a Remo Buffalo Drum all black than use the Bahia

[@ilianasdr6294]

Thank you so much for making this video and for sharing your art with us. I am curious about how you paint the black bahia remo drum. You mentioned that you sand it first? Do you have any tips on how you do that or if you recommend different paints? I would appreciate any recommendations as I am considering this for the black drum I just bought. Much gratitude

[@CarolinNobles]

I prefer not to paint that one, it needs sanding and then to be completely covered with acrylic paint.

That’s amazing!!💗 If i used a Mylar stencil (ready made design), would you recommend paint only, or maybe paint then marker? I’m trying to figure out if it’s better to put paint over marker or the other way around.

[@jennifervanpelt6170]

Hi, just stumbled across this, my friend needs to seal his synthetic drum that has been painted for him, would the spray you used here work to seal his drum and still be used for ceremonies.

[@CarolinNobles]

Yes!

[@jennifervanpelt6170]

@Carolin Nobles thank you so much for your response

[@garycadwising]

Will the acrylic paint or markers wear off over time and use, or do they withstand it if you use a varnish/finishing spray?

[@CarolinNobles]

So far with varnish on top, nothing has come off, but it might depend on your intensity and playing, and maybe over many years, the varnish would fade. But you can respray then. Nothing is forever. So yes I do recommend varnish, without, it would not keep.

[@LuckyShamrock15]

This is wonderful- so what kind of paper did you use again to transfer? Could you share the link possibly :)

[@CarolinNobles]

Hi Shea, I bought the paper in a local store in New Zealand, loose papers. So I do not have a link. Here in Germany I buy it on Ebay, but you would need to look in your own country. It is called graphite or transfer paper.

[@lauravangool936]

Thanks for this video Carolin! I bought all the materials and I am almost ready to go, but unfortunately my tracing paper doesn't work. Do you use a particular brand? 😀 (has to be white or yellow paper for my black drum)

[@CarolinNobles]

Hi Laura, you need black paper for the drum! Yellow or white one will not be visible! I have used different brands of graphite paper, but always dark colored.

[@dianalifeisgood]

After using the acrylic markers on the beater, why avoid the unpainted part in the acrylic spray for protection?... I would think that it would keep the wooden part clean... so why not using the matte varnish on it?

[@CarolinNobles]

You could do it that way too! I think it feels better without varnish to hold.
