Latin Percussion Claytone Udu
Drums Latin Percussion Claytone Udu Drums Description: Artist, designer, teacher,
and author, Frank Giorgini has developed a line of West
African clay drums called Udu Drums. He first learned of
these drums in 1974 on an educational trip to Zaria,
Nigeria. Through years of development and experimentation, he has perfected
his line of Udu Drums. They remain true to their
origins while offering improved sound qualities and durability. They have
since become extremely popular and are used by some of
the world's leading percussionists. 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. LP Udu Drum
Claytones are teardrop shaped drums available in four sizes. The
smallest Claytone #1, produces high-pitched, cutting, "soprano" sounds. The Claytone
#2 gives a slightly fuller, more tenor sound than the
#1. The Claytone #3 creates deep, powerful, "baritone" sounds. The
Claytone #4 is the largest and produces the deepest and
"bassiest" sound of the four drums. Each drum has a
side hole in the body and a top hole in
the neck for additional sound possibilities as well as textured
surfaces for creating rubbing sounds. Get your Latin Percussion Claytone
