'''Boss Dumb Drum''' is the boss level of [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], the fifth world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. The Kongs must beat the titular [[Oil Drum]], [[Dumb Drum]], to progress to [[Chimp Caverns]].

==Layout==
===SNES===
As with all world boss fights in ''Donkey Kong Country'', the fight takes place in an arena filled with bananas, in this case within a single screen; and if the player enters with a single Kong, a [[DK Barrel]] is instantly broken to ensure they start the fight with both [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]. 

The battle starts with Dumb Drum attempting to crush the Kongs by floating in the air and slamming itself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the [[Kong]]s, it will begin to release two enemies out of its body. It will release the following enemies: [[Kritter]]s, [[Slippa]]s, [[Klaptrap]]s, [[Klump]]s, and [[Army|Armies]], in that exact order.

If the Kongs defeat these enemies, Dumb Drum will attempt to crush them again at a faster pace after each round and tries to do so once more for every wave beaten (ex.: after the Kritters are beaten, it will do so twice, after the Slippas, three times, etc.)

Once the Armies are defeated, Dumb Drum self-destructs, and the Kongs recover a fifth [[Giant Banana]] and gain access to [[Chimp Caverns]].

===Game Boy Advance===
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, the Kongs have to throw a [[TNT Barrel]] (which will appear after taking out the enemies) at Dumb Drum while it tries to crush them (though it does not speed up) to damage it. It only tries to crush the Kongs until they throw the barrel, and if they miss, it releases the enemies again.
