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.
