Dundun Drum 9" diameter, 30cm high, bamboo (Teenyweeny Kenkeni)

The '9" Teenyweeny Kenkeni Dundun Drum, 30cm high, bamboo' is a super double-ended Dundun-style drum that is brilliant for very young children due to its size. This one is made small for younger children but is good for any age.

These dundun drums are made from fast-growing bamboo and are really tough. They can be used outdoors providing they are kept reasonably dry. The skins are extra tough goatskin and will withstand years and years of use. It is extremely robust and comes with a good, soft beater.

The 9" teenyweeny kenkeni dundun drum itself is very tactile and makes a satisfying thud when played. It isn’t aggressively loud and is small enough for children to carry themselves.

We have included this Kenkeni in our ‘Nursery Shaker Kit - 15 Instruments’ and ‘Drums 'n' Eggs Kit’ collections.

Powerful essence of tribal communication reaches deep into the psyche. And drums are amazing fun.
Over time, many students learn to listen and play with others in such a way that positively impacts their overall communication and interaction in other areas of life.

Cognition and learning
Rhythmic conversationcan often result in wordplay and exploration of creativity.
The balance and rhythmic challenges, alongside muscle strengthening and co-ordination, stimulate body-brain activity and a willingness to seek organisation within simple musical structures / beats / frameworks.
