Dumb Drum is a giant, robotic Black Drum that appears as a boss in Donkey Kong Country. It is the boss of the fifth world, Kremkroc Industries, Inc., and like all the other world bosses, it is battled within a giant arena made entirely of bananas. It is much larger than a normal Black Drum, and the eyes on its skull and crossbones are red and glowing. Like regular Black Drums, Dumb Drum has the ability to spawn enemies, which is the main part of its boss battle.

History[]

Donkey Kong Country[]

Dumb Drum first appears in Donkey Kong Country as the boss of the fifth world and battled in the level Boss Dumb Drum. In the SNES and Game Boy Color versions, it initially attacks by trying to land on the Kongs, who must dodge it. It will then appear at the top of the screen and shake a bit, spawning two enemies. Once they are defeated, Dumb Drum will try to stomp on the Kongs again. It will summon two Kritters, two Slippas, two Klaptraps, two Klumps, and two Armies in that order. After each wave of enemies, it will try to stomp on the Kongs an extra time, as well as moving faster as the battle goes on. After the Armies are defeated, Dumb Drum explodes, defeating it.

Its battle is slightly different in the Game Boy Advance version. Rather than the Kongs simply dodging Dumb Drum, the Kongs must throw a TNT Barrel at it to damage it when it tries to stomp on them. Should the Kongs miss, Dumb Drum will spawn the previous wave of enemies again, who must be defeated for them to have another chance of damaging it.
