I own 3 udu drums from the lp series and this has become my favorite. this is a solidly built drum. It never feels like I might shatter it when I play hard. the sound is quite incredible, of course assuming you know what you're doing (which I feel is not the case with most bad reviews of this product). the bass is deep, resonant and very fluid in terms of being able to twist it with the right palm motions. you can play it either vertical or horizontal. the vertical position with the neck pointing up creates a deeper bass and a primal almost metallic slap. playing it horizontally creates a bass that is still pretty good but a bit muted. the slap is much crisper and you can get two different sounds depending on which hand you use. the neck creates another sound texture which could be used for rolls. all in all this is a great drum and I'm hooked.

As a Praise Team percussionist, I'm always on the lookout for new sounds to add to my setup . This ceramic instrument is ideal for low volume rhythms during reverential worship songs , and has a port for a small microphone for some amazing sounds during louder songs . The versatility is astonishing .

Ho avuto diversi UDU, quasi tutti cotruiti artigianalmente. Di questi il suono era incredibile, bassa profondi, acuti ariosi e poche medie: insomma, se dovevi suonare e fare meditazione erano perfetti. Se dovevi registrarli erano pessimi. Questo LP C3 è invece quasi sordo dal vivo. Quando ascolti la registraione invece ti prende un colpo: bassi pieni ma fermi, che non slabbrano o mettono in crisi il microfono. Gli acuti sono dritti e asciutti. I medi sono tantissimi e in registrazione sono una manna dal cielo.

My son studies music at university and plays the drum kit and percussion instruments and this was one that he has played but didn’t have. Fantastic Christmas present and super quick delivery.

Unless you strike the sound hole, you might as well be playing a rock. It has no tone, no resonance at all. I was shocked because I am a big fan of LP products, including their cajon which I am ecstatic about. I returned this udu and bought a Meinl which I love.

My biggest problem with this drum was that Amazon decided to send me a cajon first. After a replacement was shipped, I can say I'm thoroughly impressed. Sure, I wish it was a little louder, but that's asking too much of a clay jug. And yes, if you buy the LP Udu Drum Udongo Ii, it has a larger air cavity, which will make it louder. But what I got was juicy, rich, and hypnotic. Hand slaps have a nice ring, and the designs around the main sound hole make it a very comfortable drum. 10 outta 10, would buy again. (psst... totally the same drum as this video [...]

There is a YouTube video of Renato Martins supposedly playing this very drum. He says so about 5 times in the video comments. In the video, the drum is only mic'ed at the top, and does not appear to have a transducer or internal microphone.The video starts with brushing sounds just from rubbing the side of the drum, and escalates to an amazing variety of sounds made with light taps, knocks, beating, etc, all over the instrument. It's quite amazing, and it motivated me to buy this drum.I am not Renato Martins, but I assure you that the drum I received cannot make anywhere *near* the range of sounds I heard in the video. I think mine is considerably thicker and less resonant. You really need to beat the stuffing out of the thing.Brushing sounds with fingertips? -- even in a silent room -- forget about it! I can't make brushing sounds with my fingernails! Finger tapping is *very* quiet. There are a some spots on the drum that are more resonant than others, but on the whole, I definitely have a different instrument. The bottom of the drum, for example, is completely sonically dead, I assure you. Better off beating the table.The drum was inexpensive, and I can't claim that it's outright defective. It's bulky and very fragile, so I will not try to send it back. But I will think twice before buying something like this again without trying the very item that I am buying. Disappointed in LP on this one.

Better than expected sound...For the price, this is great...I bought this as a gift, and now that I have seen in it, I will probably buy one for myself.

This instrument produces a wide range of tones from crackling highs to swelling lows. It is very accessible and comfortable to play. Like the Uta, this instrument is not very loud, so it will need to be mic'ed in all but the smallest ensembles. Finding a mic small enough to fit in the mic hole is difficult and likely to be expensive. Other than that, the instrument is a good purchase for those who want to explore percussion off the beaten path.
