LP Latin Percussion Udu Drum Tambuta LP1400-TM

I own 5 udus from the LP Frank giorgini series and this is the most portable one to bring to open mics or just for when you want to travel. I was a bit skeptical about the sound when I first got it but after practicing and learning the nuances of all the different sounds you can produce from this drum based on how you hold it and where and how you strike it, I am now a believer. it makes a great accompanying drum to the utar, which has a much deeper bass and more metallic slap. playing the two together is pure magic.

Despite its modest size, the tambuta has a low, mellow sound without the ringy overtones of other LP udus. This can be good for accompanying singers or when high overtones would interfere with other instruments. And it's fairly loud as udus go. I can do a fair imitation of a conga using the wide top surface for full-handed slaps, but the most fun for me is to play melodies by striking fingers in the area around the central hole. I also like the startling bell-like tone I get hitting the wide snout on the side. It's a cool drum to bring to an acoustic jam.

nice instrument
