MEINL Percussion Fiberglass Series Tri Sound Ibo Drum (ID3GO)

Udu Drums originated among the Igbo (Ibo) people of the South East of Nigeria. It is an ancient utility vessel that has evolved into a popular percussion instrument. The Tri Sound Ibo Drum is traditionally called "Udu Igbah": Udu in the Igbo language means pot, and Igbah means skin drum. In Igbo land, there are two versions of Udus, the one with a side hole was played by women. The other version is much larger and only has one wide mouth at the top and is often played with a flat padded mallet.  The Tri Sound Ibo Drum is versatile. It produces a special effect sound and can nearly mimic a talking drum (Ayan in the Yoruba language). The Tri Sound Ibo in the hands of an experienced musician is a formidable gear.
