The Dununba is the lowest sounding drum in the dunun family. This drum has an amazing deep and resonant tone! If you're interested in a three drum dunun set, we recommend the Drum Brothers dununba, sangban, and kenkeni. A lacing diagram for tightening your drum is 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.
