Selected User Reviews For Latin Percussion LP1400-C2 Udu Drum
I love to play it with my mike, it makes it even more fun. In addition to being a great conversation piece, it also makes for a great gift. There is a responsive bass hole and it sounds great (I like it better than my Meinl "Ibo" version). There is only one downside to this udu because the clay is pretty thick, it is extremely quiet, and you need a lot of force (or a microphone) to pull out much sound from.

Besides having nice high crisp ceramic slap tones, this Udu has good resonant deep tones that can easily be varied. relatively heavy, but just the right size to fit on your lap when not in use. The weight of the tray helps it to secure itself firmly on your lap as you pay. While not in use, the stand looks good in any setting when not in use, and it is a cool accent to your decor when not in use. Besides an external mic, it's also equipped with an internal mic that can be plugged in via a small matching plug that can be removed to get to the microphone cable. I liked this instrument very much. It has just the right amount of volume to be a good match for.

There have already been a few spots where the coating has come off close to the microphone hole. It has a sticky plug for this hole and I removed it. As a result, the painted coating came off with it. The very thick material makes it very difficult for the sound to travel through it.

As of this writing I have not used this percussion instrument in any performance or demonstration, but I am extremely pleased with its size and tone. My experience with Latin percussionists is limited, but this is an instrument I have never seen.


I've given it to my grandson, who.
