'''Dumb Drum''' is a large oil-drum-like being with a skull-and-crossbones emblem on it. Dumb Drum is the boss of the area [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], an apparently [[Kremling]] controlled industrial park on [[Donkey Kong Island]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Dumb Drum will attempt to smash [[Donkey Kong]] and his buddy [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] by floating in the air and slamming himself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the Kongs it will begin to pour enemies out of it's body, if the Kongs defeat these enemies Dumb Drum will try to crush them again but, only this time at a faster pace. In order to defeat Dumb Drum (in the SNES and GameBoy Color versions of ''Donkey Kong Country'') the Kongs must destroy all of the enemies it creates. This will somehow destroy it. In the GameBoy Advance version of ''Donkey Kong Country'' 5 [[TNT Barrel]]s must be thrown at Dumb Drum to destroy it.
