I am a big fan of udu drums. This one offers huge range of sounds, cause you can simply hit it all around and when you play also with the air between two holes, it starts singing even more. The combination of traditional udu and bongos is interesting and brings also quite funky shape. I call it an alien's baby. :) I love to make rhythms on it for my looping improvisations. It sounds great and tunes well with many acoustic instruments. Deep bass and crispy high end of clay are just so relaxing and soothing. Adding it to my recordings always brings some good vibe and bringing it to jam sessions is great fun. Although, You have to remember that udu is not a very loud drum. Rather subtle and delicate. Needs a space in music to be heard. Shure SM58, SM57 and some nice condenser mic will definitely do the job with udongo. Be creative, practice hands skills, play with the air, look for many different qualities of the sound, but also be careful, never drop it. ;)
