Q: What is an Udu and how is the Schlagwerk U70S different?

An Udu is a traditional Nigerian clay pot drum known for its unique, resonant sounds. The Schlagwerk U70S takes this ancient instrument further with its XL size and a tunable fish skin head. This combination allows for a wider range of tones, from deep, watery bass notes produced by striking the side hole to varied percussive sounds from the skin head, making it incredibly versatile.
