  • Description: The four drummers were the chief singers together with their women. Malimba 2 xylophones, on frames without resonators.. 3 goblet drums, once called Itumba and the others Mutumbwe. The Itumba drum was a closed drum with a mirliton fixed into its side, 20" high and with 12 1/2" membrane. The Mutumbwe drums were both weighted with paste to lower their pitch, and had similar mirlitons. The large slit drum, Kunri, was insulated from the ground as it had no legs. In this respect the slit drums behave physically like a xylophone note and must be supported at the two nodes or they will not sound properly. Budye dance, with 2 xylophones, 3 conical drums and 1 slit drum
