Description
The LP1400-C3 Udu Drum carries forward a percussion tradition that spans centuries, brought to life through clay construction pioneered by master ceramicist Frank Giorgini for Latin Percussion. Rather than following a factory-uniform sound, each Udu Drum has its own tonal character, a result of the hand-worked clay body and shape.
- Played by striking any surface of the drum with the palm or fingertips
- Clay construction rooted in traditional African drum-making techniques
- Textured exterior surfaces add rubbing-style tonal effects beyond standard strikes
- Delivers individualized tonal values, giving each drum a distinct voice
Because the sound comes from the vessel’s shape and airflow rather than a stretched membrane, the Udu Drum produces deep, breathy tones alongside sharper accents depending on where and how it’s played. Musicians exploring hand percussion, world music ensembles, or looking to add an organic textural layer to a rhythm section will find the LP1400-C3 a versatile addition to their setup.
Whether used in performance, recording, or casual practice, this drum rewards experimentation—no two strikes sound quite the same, and no two drums are identical either.
