  • (oo-doo)

    A truly gigantic, room-shaking sub-bass tone is produced from these traditional Igbo pot drums, which is played with a soft sponge paddle (included) or with hands for the smallest size.

    They can produce an open note, a half note and a muted note.

    Because the body is metal and not the original clay construction, you can also gently strike the body with any hard object to produce a range of different metallic sounds.

    The weight of largest size is only approx 5kg! 

    Scroll through the gallery to my demos of each size.

    SMALL - Two tones and noted bending, played with hands

    MEDIUM - Main tone, half tone, muted tone, played with paddle

    BIG  - Main tone, half tone, muted tone, played with paddle

    LARGE - Main tone, half tone, muted tone, played with paddle
