'''Black drums'''<ref>Folsom, Jessica, and Steve Thomason (2003). ''Donkey Kong Country'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:DKC GBA guide pg 100.jpg|Page 100]].</ref>, also referred to as '''oil drums'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #26, page 26. "'''''PLAY MISTY FOR ME''' Some caves are shrouded in a thick mist which does it's''{{sic}}'' best to conceal the snake-spitting oil drums. Use TNT to smash the barrels or use them as steps to higher ledges.''"</ref>, are steel drum obstacles that appear in a few levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Each black drum has the ability to spawn an unlimited number of a specific enemy, either [[Gnawty|Gnawties]], [[Army|Armies]], [[Klaptrap]]s, or [[Slippa]]s. An enemy comes out of a black drum every few seconds. They can be stood on just as on a platform, during which they do not expel any enemies. [[Winky the Frog]] can continuously bounce on black drums, though without inflicting any damage on them. In order to destroy a black drum, the [[Kong]]s have to toss a barrel at it. Black drums first appear in [[Winky's Walkway]] and last appear in [[Misty Mine]] as the stage's main obstacle.

The fifth boss, [[Dumb Drum]], is a larger variant of a black drum. It has the ability to spawn larger enemies that normal ones cannot, including [[Kritter]]s and [[Klump]]s. Black drums also have a similar variant, [[oil drum]]s, that emit flames instead of enemies. In addition, there are similar objects in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' referred to as [[Basket of snakes|baskets of snakes]], which only spawn Slippas and can harm the Kongs when rolling down stairways.
