LP Udu Drums possess distinct tonal qualities which range from subtle bass tones to soothing tabla-like tones. 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 individual tonal values. They can be played by hitting any part of the drum with the palm of the hand or the finger tips. The textured surfaces provide additional tonal variations by creating rubbing sounds. The sound possibilities can be further expanded using the unique microphone ports found in each chamber. Small mics can be mounted for amplification and to capture the wondrous internal sounds. LP 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.

This instrument is well made and produces very nice tones. From sharp attacks and high crispy tones, to swelling low tones, there is so much to explore. For example, using a finger slap on the neck will produce a ringing bell tone. I don’t have a microphone small enough to fit into the hole, and after shopping around, I see it is difficult to get one small enough at a reasonable price (regardless of quality), so the only mic’ing I have tried is external and the results are what you would expect. However, the instrument is beautiful and functional and worth the price.

The Lp Udu Utar is an incredible sounding instrument. Deep bass sounds to crisp high sounds. Makes different tones depending how you hit, where you hit & what part of you hand you use. It can take a little while to get used to playing the Udu but once you get the hang of it it’s awesome. I love it.
