Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received this a few days ago and each day I find more possibilities with it. If you collect a lot of different hand drums, this is a great buy for your collection. It can be as versatile as you want it to be.
Another great thing about this is that it can further encourage the percussionist in all of us. It allows one to be forced from their comfort zone to a new terrain that will not only allow one to better draw sound from this and other Udu drums, but how to draw new and beautiful sounds from the world around you.
A concern with it (which the picture doesn't show off) is that the (horn?) coming out of the bottom is awkwardly placed so that the ring it comes with won't fit on it.
One could rest it in their lap with the horn sticking out from between your legs. Along with this looking a little strange, it dampens the drum. I have found the best way to rest the drum is with the horn pointing at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock in your lap while sitting on a chair. To keep it balanced, I keep (depending on if I have it pointing right or left) raising one knee higher than the other to help keep it balanced.
This concern, however, does not diminish an entire star on my review as it's sounds are unique. If you are familiar with other Udu drums, this can be compared to an Utar in how it is played.
If you are a percussionist new to Udus, it may be best to start with a claytone, a more traditionally shaped Udu. But this unique design allows for a unique performance and inspires adaptability in one's path as a percussionist and overall lover of sounds.
