[hornetpalooza]

Hm, if I had a DVD player I'd buy that tutorial, I wish there was a way to buy videos online through download like you can with music these days.

[DuskY1991]

hi Brian, great playing as always......do you know of anyone that sells a stand of the Udongo udu drum......much thanks, much respect....

[adamg7]

Brian, what mics are you using?

[uduboy]

The Udu on my far right is one of Frank Giorginis handmade No.#3 / Tenor Tiered shape Udus. The way this set up is laid out from my perspective L to R = #4 / Baritone, #2 / Alto, #1 / Soprano, and No.#3 / Tenor. Wishing you continued success with your work...

[indiecha]

Thank you guys for your time in checking out what I am doing with the udu.

All of my udus are Frank Giorgini's. I have been playing his drums since the mid eighties. I am also blessed to work with Frank in promoting his wonderful drums. I will pass on your nice words to him. stay well and continued success

[yenyere]

I've watched all the Udu players in youtube and so far this is not only the best one but a genius udu maker himself!

[fsdrm12]

the udus were made by frank Giorgini, and played by brian melick. but yea, he plays them tight.

[uduboy]

Thank you. Is the ipu keke the gourd instrument dangled from a Hawaiian dancers wrist while dancing it hits off the dancers hips and body?

[matiasluna]

i have just recently taken to the sound of clay pot drumming and i would really like to learn on an udu of my own. I looked into the Frank Giorgini models you spoke of and i was wondering which you would recommend to a beginner like me.

[uduboy]

I started with a traditional udu drum which is shaped like a tear drop. I was drawn to the alto size which has a very nice range from high to low. Frank Giorgini regards the alto size as a number #2. You can obtain his drums through your local music store that sells LP Music Products. The nice thing about the number #2 / Alto Udu is its size. It fits very comfortable on your lap when you create a void by crossing your leg. All of them that are offered through LP Music have wonderful options.

[ltsalzman]

A total 5 star performance..........perfectio­n.

[uduboy]

Thank you for your kind words. I am happy you enjoyed my work.

[uduboy]

The Udu Drums that I use were first created by Frank Giorgini. He has licenced 10 different models to LP Music. You can check them out through any LP Music distributor. They start at under $100. and top out at just over $100.

Hi Brian,

I found these udu's at reduced prices at a place called vintagedrum dot com. I'm buying the Mbwata, even though I've never played udu before, this particular drum calls to me. Thanks so much for your sharing.

[percdann]

hey im new to the udu drum thing! need to learn to play it for a percussion piece....any recomendations on a good cheap one??

those sound class really good!

[uduboy]

Thank you for your kind words. Like all musical instruments, as you play it you connect and then the magic starts. It is a life journey no matter what the musical instrument is... Continued success with your journey -

[rodoendo]

You play with magic!!!!nice and relaxed!how dou you develop that melodic style? with any kind of exersise?.

[uduboy]

Thank you for your kind words.

[Skathinawjo]

I agree with the others.. very beautiful playing, great skills.

[uduboy]

Thank you for stopping by and giving it a listen. Continued success...

[jjuup]

Very nice udus and very nice playing!

[uduboy]

I highly recommend the Countryman Isomax II microphone. I have never had an issue with this microphone. It can handle an enormous amount of pressure and captures every little nuance. It needs phantom power. With any microphone you use with the udu, I highly recommend you run it through a parametric eq or a notch filter so you can control any feedback issues.

[darthmool]

Which microphone use? tanks

[bPofDuluth]

Enjoyed your playing.

[Aphyloss]

Great feeling brother
