Udu Drum

The Udu drum originates from Nigeria. First used as a clay pot for carrying water, it was only played as a musical instrument by the women of the village. But today, it is the udu's various acoustical tones and temperament that is what modern musicians have come to love. These ceramic pot drums are so pretty, in fact, that they make wonderful decorations you're not playing them.
