Udu Basics: The Lowest and the Highest Basic Tone

Please note: For the purpose of demonstration I used the claytone #4 Udu Drum which is placed in the SoftPaw™ stand for the clearest view of the technique.

The Udu Drum is generally played in a seated position with the drum on the player's lap. If you do not have this particular Udu Drum, apply the side hole instruction to the lowest tone and the neck hole instruction to the highest tone.

Strike the side hole with your palm.

Quickly release your palm from the hole.
