'''Dumb Drum''', named '''Oil Drum''' on one occasion,<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 26 (NMS Special)|page=19|date=November 1994}}</ref> is the fifth boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Dumb Drum is a giant [[black drum]] that is seemingly mechanical,<ref>{{cite|quote=This major baddie is unlike any other enemy on the entire island. It's a mechanical (sort of) beast.|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|page=104|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and it has a skull and crossbones emblem with glowing red eyes printed on it. Dumb Drum is fought in [[Boss Dumb Drum]], at the end of [[Kremkroc Industries Inc.]] When starting the battle, Dumb Drum tries to hit [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by floating in the air and slamming itself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the [[Kong]]s, it begins to release two enemies out of its body. In the battle, Dumb Drum  releases the following enemies in order: [[Kritter]]s, [[Slippa]]s, [[Klaptrap]]s, [[Klump]]s, and [[Army|Armies]]. Each time the Kongs defeat a wave of enemies, Dumb Drum tries to crush them again at a faster pace after each round, and takes another attempt for every wave beaten (e.g., after the Kritters are beaten, it does so twice; after the Slippas, three times; etc.). Dumb Drum can be defeated by defeating all five waves of enemies, somehow causing it to self-destruct.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Dumb Drum is attacked by throwing a [[TNT Barrel|TNT Drum]] at it, but a TNT Drum appears only after a wave of enemies is defeated. It only tries to crush the Kongs until they throw the barrel, and if they miss, it releases the same set of enemies again.
