Water Drum Improvisation

Eugene Skeef is joined by his creative colleagues Clive Sithole, Vimmi Vatish and Adam Barker in a morning rhythmic meditation in preparation for a workshop with local school children. The workshop was part of a project called How Do Udu, which is part of Eugene's international udu project. Clive, who is a potter, travelled from South Africa to Kent, England to join Eugene to make udus with the young people. Vimmi and Adam are artists who work in creative education with a global awareness, and Eugene has given them rhythmic lessons.

This film features the African water drum and Indian gatam.

I have a bunch of gourds and wanted to make a water drum- but my question is how does the smaller gourd manage to not roll and stay in the upside down position while playing it?
