• Kenkeni - 8.5 inch head - 50cm x 22cm diameter.


• Sangban - 10 inch head - 55cm x 26cm diameter.


• Dundun - 13.5 inch head - 65cm x 34cm diameter.

The kenkeni has the highest pitch and usually holds the rhythm together with a simple pattern. The sangban typically has a more complex part which defines the rhythm. The dundun often serves to add depth with deep, widely spaced notes.

Dunduns are also known as djun-djuns, dunun or doundouns.
