Love how descriptive and positive you are! Very comforting vibe! Your energy is definitely noticed!

I first heard the udu played in one of Esperanza Spaulding's songs Ponta De Areia and had no idea what drum made such unique beautiful tones and finally figured out what it was! And my first udu drum arrived today!

Beautiful Udu, sounds great. I'll likely have to go with something a bit cheaper though, at least for my first one. The Udu definitely on my short list of future instruments, thanks to previous videos you've done, love the sound and it will work great with my music. Thanks for the great review! People should remember to wear headphones for these reviews, as most computer speakers can't do an Udu justice. Take care of you and yours, stay safe and healthy!

I made one myself for my first UDU. I buy one vase and I make the hole. The sounds is good but is a little bit thickt so whe you hit the sounds is not so strong but the sound of the hole is perfect. After practicing I buy one professional the brand is Schlagwerk from Germany this is one really good. I would love to buy one in the future with the drum on it . There are some woods models around there really rad too.

Rick Dior has a 25 minute video about udu that I'd highly recommend. Also David Kuckherman has a nice instructional video on YT. Still don't have an udu, but every time I see a video like this I want one :) Thanks Kalani!

There is a song (particularly 3 of them) from the Ghost in the shell ost that use this drum in the song.
All of them are variations on the song “making of a cyborg”.
Also, most video game osts use it.
That’s how I found out about this drum.

Very similar concept to the Indian matka and ghatam, both of which are also clay pot instruments.

Just started lately to play a calabash. Same concept but more of a woody sound

[pedromeza]

A very interesting drumming instrument, now for those down vote, what up with you?

When not in use you can use it as a flower vase lol.
