Tri Sound Udu - pro, Ø 27cm, H 35cm

Udu Drums originated among the Igbo (Ibo) people of the South East of Nigeria. It is an ancient utility vessel that has evolved into a popular percussion instrument. The Tri Sound Ibo Drum is traditionally called "Udu Igbah": Udu in the Igbo language means pot, Igbah means skin drum. In Igbo land, there are two versions of Udus, the one with a side-hole was played by women. The other version is much larger and only has one wide mouth at the top and is often played with a flat padded mallet.

The Tri Sound Ibo Drum is versatile. It produces a special effect sound and can nearly mimic a talking drum (Ayan in the Yoruba language). The Tri Sound Ibo in the hands of an experienced musician is a formidable gear.
