The titles of the items are: 1. Ibyiivuko (cries). 2. Umusuko. 3. Akakira. 4. Zidjezikarabwe. 5. Urubunda. 6. Uruhamiriza. 7. Uruchantege. 8. Uwabjgega. 9. Umuganura. 10. Urugamgazi. 11. Unubambura. 12. Agasiga. 13. Tubaru shumwami. 14. Ururuna. 15. Urukina. The whole set of drums should have been conical laced drums of the same shape but varying in pitch. At this mine a number of them had been improvised from oil drums, 44 gallon and 8 gallon metal containers. The chief drummer is called - Umwiiro maukuru. The second drummer is called - Uwaura. The timekeeper drummer is called - Ishakwe. The beaters or drumsticks are called - Murisho (s.) Imirisho (pl.). The names of the drums are from treble to bass. Lead drum -- (in this case a small bucket drum) -- Ishako. First drum - Nyahura. Second drum - Nterero. Third drum - Irubi. Fourth drum - Luvugamahame. Fifth drum - Chihumurizo. The leader plays his own drum and sometimes the three also on either side of him (4 all told) when setting a rhythm. His second-in-command also plays his own drum and sometimes one on either side (3 in all). The time setter stands out in front of the line and keeps the time going. This recording was made near a plantation of tall eucalyptus (blue gum) trees and the diffuse echo from the boughs and leaves overhead can be clearly heard throughout.

Description
This Buudu tribe is said to have come across the Savannah along the northern edge of the great tropical Ituri forest from the Ruwenzori mountains in the East to this present locality in North Central Congo. On their way they are said to have become much influenced by the Mbuti Pygmies, several of their songs and dances closely resembling those of the dwarfs. Their pet name for the pygmies is Batikitki.

The large Igogo deja was carved out of a single log and shaped like an antelope. It was 43" tall, the body 52" long, the tail 28 1/2" and the head 33". It was 42 1/2" wide, a total of 9 foot 5 1/2" long from tip to tail. The four legs were 10" tall carrying the triangular sectioned body, sounding two notes -- 56 and 48 vs. one from either flank. The wooden drums are in reality wooden gongs from which two or more tones can be produced according to the position of the blow. The two sides of the slit usually record two distinct tones when hit near the mouth of the slit. Blows in this position appear to be those usually employed when sending messages or signals. For dancing, lighter tones can be produced by striking the upper ends of the drum, and deeper notes by hitting low down on the body of the drum nearer the waist. This recording is a part only of the dance already in progress.
