The Sangban is the middle toned drum in the dunun family. A lacing diagram for tightening your drum will be included. Contact Tracy Topp (tracy@drumbrothers.com) to specify colors for the wrapped rings.Drum Brothers dununs have a light weight western
red cedar stave construction with split steer heads laced
with non-stretch djembe cord.
Traditionally, dununs are played horizontally
with a bell mounted on top. However, master
drummers,such as Abdoul Doumbia from Mali, are playing
multiple dununs vertically.
We build lightweight cedar dununs
in four sizes and offer both horizontal and vertical stands.
We've noticed an increasing interest in dunun
drums among seasoned djembe and ashiko players and students
of West African music.
Drum Brothers dununs have been played by Adboul Doumbia, Babatunde
Olatunji, Randy Armstrong (of Uno Mondo) and others nationally,
and we perform with a set of four in our own ensemble.
These drums can also be tuned to each other.
