Latin Percussion LP1400UG Udu Drum Udongo II

The LP Udu Drum Udongo II is a professional, dual-chambered ceramic percussion instrument designed in collaboration with master ceramicist Frank Giorgini. Based on centuries-old Nigerian traditions, this horizontally played clay drum features two unique resonance chambers that produce a rich and heavily contrasting sound palette. With its capability to blend deep bass tones with crisp, bright melodic accents, it serves as an exceptionally expressive tool for conga and bongo players, recording studios, and acoustic ensembles.

• Dual-Chamber Versatility: Features two distinct acoustic chambers—a large rounded chamber for mellow, deep bass, and a smaller concave chamber for sharp, bright, ‘wet’ accents.
• Rich & Contrasting Textures: The innovative multi-chamber design allows percussionists to transition effortlessly from muted, earthy undertones to piercing, high-pitched rhythmic pop sounds.
• Expressive ‘Moaning’ Effects: The strategically placed top air holes allow players to control the internal air flow, creating a distinctive and highly musical pitch-bending or ‘moaning’ effect.
• Multi-Textured Rubbing Surface: The clay body is crafted with specialized textured surfaces, enabling unique scratching, tapping, and rubbing sound variations.
• Microphone Ready: Equipped with internal microphone ports in each chamber, allowing for effortless small mic installation to capture complex internal frequencies or for live stage amplification.
