Installation
The 20″ Dundun Bambata arrives as a physical instrument. Setup involves ensuring the rope tension is adjusted to your preferred pitch using the triple-ring system. Because it uses non-stretch rope, once the desired tension is achieved, the drum will maintain its tuning more effectively than standard rope-tuned drums.
Compatibility
This is a standalone acoustic percussion instrument. It is compatible with any standard percussion stand or floor-based playing position. It is designed for use with the included sticks or compatible traditional African drum beaters.
