Dun Dun beaters, also known as stick beaters or mallets, are percussion accessories designed for playing Kenkeni and Dun-Dun drums, which are traditional West African drums. These beaters are typically crafted with a soft and tactile material to produce a warm and resonant sound when striking the drumhead. They are commonly used in drumming settings, where multiple players create intricate rhythms and melodies by striking the drums with dun dun beaters of varying sizes and materials. Dun dun beaters can sometimes be used on larger djembes, providing versatility in percussion performances.
