Latin Percussion Claytone Udu Drums Description Artist, designer, teacher, and author, Frank Giorgini has developed a line of West African clay drums called Udu Drums. He first learned of these drums in 1974 on an educational trip to Zaria, Nigeria. Through years of development and experimentation, he has perfected his line of Udu Drums. They remain true to their origins while offering improved sound qualities and durability. They have since become extremely popular and are used by some of the world's leading percussionists. LP Udu Drums possess distinct tonal qualities which range from subtle bass tones to soothing tabla-like tones. Their clay construction is based upon centuries-old African traditions. The name Udu"" has been derived from the Nigerian Ibo language, meaning ""pottery"". Each LP Udu Drum offers individual tonal values. They can be played by hitting any part of the drum with the palm of the hand or the finger tips. The textured surfaces provide additional tonal variations by creating rubbing sounds. The sound possibilities can be further expanded using the unique microphone ports found in each chamber. Small mics can be mounted for amplification and to capture the wondrous internal sounds. LP Udu Drums are generally played in a seated position with the drum on the player's lap. They can also be played on a table top or floor using the included straw ring stands. LP Udu Drum Claytones are teardrop shaped drums available in four sizes. The smallest Claytone #1, produces high-pitched, cutting, ""soprano"" sounds. The Claytone #2 gives a slightly fuller, more tenor sound than the #1. The Claytone #3 creates deep, powerful, ""baritone"" sounds. The Claytone #4 is the largest and produces the deepest and ""bassiest"" sound of the four drums. Each drum has a side hole in the body and a top hole in the neck for additional sound possibilities as well as textured surfaces for creating rubbing sounds. "" |

 Latin Percussion WB505
Latin Percussion WB505 Plenera Ser w/Bag The World Beat Plenera Drums look for inspiration to the plena, the popular Puerto Rican folkloric street music style that broadcast current events in an alternately humorous/satirical style, earning it the nickname the sung newspaper."" Because they are ""played on the run"", accompanied by guiro and vocals, Plenera drums must be light, portable, and easy to grasp. The drums are constructed of a colorful, lightweight, and durable synthetic material, which will hold its shape and withstand the elements - important since the drums are often distributed to street musicians who perform in the manner of Christmas carollers. Fully tunable (wrench provided), they are available in three sizes, 8"" Requinto, 10"" Segundo, and 12"" Seguidor, and will nestle into the handsome black case. In the tradition of other LP World Beat instruments, the new Plenera Drums are not limited to plena style but may be used whenever a frame drum sound is appropriate. The set of three represents outstanding sound, looks, and value."" |
