HOW TO PLAY THE UDU DRUM

Udu performance with playback + Udu technique DEMO
The UDU was originated by the Igbo and Hausa people of Nigeria. Actually being a water jug with one more hole, the UDU was played by women for ceremonial uses. Usually the UDU is made of clay and it is widely used by percussionists in different music styles. The instrument is played by hand and produces a special and unique bass sound by quickly hitting the big hole. Furthermore the whole corpus can be played by fingers.
Renato Martins is considered an UDU master by the specialized media. There are many UDU courses available online but mostly applying the technique from other percussion instruments such as the darbouka and the split finger technique to the UDU playing.

I fail to understand why someone would give this a 'thumbs down'. The skill and precision of Renato's udu playing (notwithstanding the incredible guitar playing) are simply mind blowing. (What a sad, cultural vacuum, some people live in!)

bom dia grande Renato. Pode me informar se esse instrumento soa bem sem microfonação? Por exemplo pra tocar em um luau?

[@jenko701]

You should do a video with Kiko , Mega Death , fellow Brazilian . I bet he would love it .

[@leonharrison800]

What microphones and amplifiers should we get to improve the sound quality?

[@jaamabay3830]

And lightweighted too!!

[@fritzkrummeck835]

hi Renato, how and with which microphones did you amplify the Udu? Best regards Fritz

[@jaamabay3830]

Hey Renato, do you know some kind of a "travelling-udu"? Something like a very stabile and small udu that you can easily take everywhere with you?

[@RenatoMartinsPercussionist]

Hello my friend! Udus are very delicate and fragile instruments. They are usually a ceramic pot and break easily. The best thing you can do would be purchasing or making a hard case for it. And you may also look into fiberglass or wooden udus. Search on the internet for those! I hope it helps! Take care! 🙌

[@jaamabay3830]

Hi Renato, thank you very much!! I will go and listen to how them fiberglass or wooden udus sound like :)

[@RenatoMartinsPercussionist]

@@jaamabay3830 you are welcome!

[@forrestkelly732]

Renato, where can I buy a well made Udu? Is there a trusted retailer online that you recommend?

[@RenatoMartinsPercussionist]

Hi Forrest! You can try to reach Frank at udu.com... Best you can find... But can be very expensive! LP udus are great, much cheaper and you find them everywhere. I use the LP Claytone udu #3. I hope it helps you! 🙌
