Virtual Instrument Museum The dundun (larger of the two bass drums found in the Malian jembe ensemble) is made from either a hollowed out wooden cylinder or cylindrical metal barrel, measuring twenty to twenty six inches in diameter and thirty to thirty six inches long. The tension on the playing heads of the dundun is maintained through the interweaving of the synthetic ropes connecting the two heads, in a manner identical to that used for the jembe. In Bamako, the dundun player usually accompanies himself with a conical iron bell suspended by a string attached to the middle finger on the left hand and struck by an iron thumb ring. learningobjects.wesleyan.edu /vim/cgi-bin/instrument.cgi?id=69   (353 words)

Dundun drummers are particularly adept at speaking in proverbs that are relevant to particular contexts. As Peter Kwasi Sarpong has pointed out, their language is "idiomatic, symbolic, and proverbial."
