Description: The Buudu is one of the north Eastern Congo Bantu tribes which makes good use of slit drums of groups, both for sending signals and for dances. The largest of these are frequently found roughly shaped like an antelope with head, tail and legs protruding from the body of the drum, carved out of a single log. The almost mechanical exactness of the performance of these five men in typically African strict tempo is quite remarkable, dull perhaps to the outsider who does not participate, but highly conducive of the motoe-reaction of the dancers. Drum rhythm, tall slit drum shaped like an animal, 2 pod drums, 2 small slit drums.
