U 30 Twin Udu Set of 2

U 10 H and U 20 T

Our Twin Udu construction design has made it possible to control the pitch and the result is a Set of 2 model with superb tonal harmony. The sound is distinctly earthy, with a short, powerful bass tone and a full, rich body-sound. Response is quick.

For over 20 years, designer and pottery master, Kai Koesling, has beenhandcrafting Schlagwerk Udu® Drums. Inspired by the original AfricanUdu, our new designs and developments have resulted in a wide range ofmodels. The origin of the Udu® drums lies in Nigeria. Members of theHausa and Ibo tribes discovered the wonderful sound of theseearthenware instruments with two openings. Udu means “clay pot” in thelanguage of the Ibos. Originally from Africa, the Udu can also be foundin Latin America and the Caribbean. Having made the leap into westernmusic culture, Schlagwerk Udus belong to the basics of everypercussionist as sound-effect and rhythm instruments. They are playedby rhythmically opening and closing the side-hole with the palm of thehand. This produces a deep bass tone, reminiscent of the sound of theIndian Tabla. This playing technique is combined with the bright,percussive body-sound produced by hitting any part of the pot with thefingers. All Udu® Drums are hand-turned – this manufacturing techniqueguarantees optimum sound development.

The Skin Udu® is the highlight of our Udu® range and offers avariety of features. Apart from the side sound hole, which yields soft,round harmonious bass tones, this Udu® has a thin, natural skin.Depending on the playing technique, this high pitched, pre-tunedmembrane is capable of producing a kaleidoscope of sounds ranging fromdeep resonant basses to powerful Darabuka-related, high tonal sounds.The varying surface strengths of this Udu mean that it is capable oftwo body-sounds, which can be produced by playing with the fingers andtechnique and yield a stony-percussive sound type. The combination oforiental drum sounds and soft low pitched bass tones create a uniqueand inspiring sound experience.
