Latin Percussion LP1400-UG

The Undongo II Udu has two uniquely shaped sound chambers connected by a very short neck. This udu has the most extreme range of textures because of the shape of the sound chambers. The larger, rounder chamber makes dry, low, earthy sounds. The smaller chamber on top provides higher, glassier sounds.LP Udu Drums possess distinct tonal qualities because of their earthen nature. Their clay construction is based upon centuries-old African traditions. The name 'Udu' has been derived from the Nigerian Ibo language, meaning 'pottery'. Each LP Udu Drum offers different sounds because of their different shapes. They can be played by hitting any part of the drum with the palm of the hand or the fingertips, and the textured surfaces provide additional tonal variations by creating rubbing sounds. Udu's are very delicate, intimate instruments, but a pre-made microphone port allows for a small mic to be inserted so volume does not become an issue. Udu drums are generally played in a seated position with the drum on the player's lap. They can also be played on a table top or floor using the included straw ring stands.
