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.
By taking advantage of all the different areas that make up the body of the Udu drum, you can create what seems like an endless amount of textural effects by rubbing with the many surfaces of your hand.
