X8 Drums Djun Djun with Beaters

Traditional mahogany African bass drum with thick cowhide heads and wooden sticks

X8 masterfully carves all their Djun Djuns (or Dununs) from single pieces of legally-harvested mahogany hardwood in order to produce the authentic sound of the African bass drum. These unique drums are typically played with the included sticks as a three-piece set: the 15″ Dundunba produces the bass tone, the 12″ Sangban produces the mid-range tone and the 10″ Kenkeni produces the high tone. Stretched across the top and bottom are thick, high-quality cowhides held together with a two-ring mounting system and 5mm HTB non-stretch tuning rope.
