Description: Drums. Kayanda - conical, open, pegged and weighted (-14.2-). Mitumbwe - goblet, pinned, closed and weighted (-14.52-). Ditumba - goblet, pinned, closed, mirliton (-14.51251-). The drums enter one after the other and end in the same way. The difference in tone between the weighted and the unweighted membranes of the drums can be clearly heard - the weighted drums being both lower in tone and also emitting a slightly slurred or portamento tone, while the unweighted drum sounds a clear hollow note. Katendo dance, with 2 Goblet drums, pegged, closed and hand beaten, and 1 conical drum, pegged, open, and hand beaten
