I couldn't hear any buzzing in your mp3s, but I believe you. Usually that's something with the skin, not the wood. But, with the head off, you could tell if it's the wood.
I will be replacing all of my bata heads. He mounted all of mine without pulling the crown rings down away from the bearing edge! I can understand if you live in a wet climate and they pull down with time.
But, I'm in a dry climate, and the heads shrink rather than stretch! So, we actually had to loosen the rings right up into your hand's playing area! Mine are completely unplayable!
Such a waste to get new drums and right away replace the heads..
Seems you have to pay a penance for owning the most beautiful sounding bata.

It sounds like you are hitting the iya like a conga.
I also think I tune mine a little lower than that.
Someone once said to me "An Iya should be felt more than heard".

Can you please be more specific about technique? I have a fardela ring on it, and I'm hitting the head with the whole flat hand...

Just an idea , have you not thought about soaking the skins for half hour then turning them to a point playable .as they dry back them off a little . Its just an idea . it may work and save you 6 re laps .

That description sounds like the proper technique, so perhaps I was mistaken.
Here is a recording of my Iya. It is tuned lower and I do not have fardela on the enu.
