"Adding hand percussion to a Djembe group adds layers of interest to the sound and broadens pupils' understanding - all for very low cost."

— Richard McKerron

Description

The '15" Kenkeni Dundun Drum, 40cm high, bamboo' is the smallest of the classic set of three drums in a Dundun set and is suitable for Primary, Secondary, club and professional use.  It's also a great drum for pre-school settings as it's tough, tactile and not aggressively loud. It is approximately 35cm in diameter and 40cm high. It is made from bamboo for minimal environmental impact, a lighter weight, and great value overall.

The heads are extra-thick goatskin and each '15" kenkeni dundun drum' set comes complete with a double-ended beater (wood and padded) to give an even wider range of sounds.

The Teenyweeny Kenkeni (30cm), Supermini Kenkeni (30cm), and Mini Kenkeni (35cm) are also available for purchase separately. Recycled Dundun Bells are also available.

Cognition and learning
Rhythmic conversationcan often result in wordplay and exploration of creativity.
