- LP Udu Drums possess distinct tonal qualities which range from subtle bass tones to soothing tabla-like tones. Their clay construction is based upon centuries-old African traditions. The name "Udu" has been derived from the Nigerian Ibo language, meaning "pottery".
- Each LP Udu Drum offers individual tonal values. They can be played by hitting any part of the drum with the palm of the hand or the finger tips. The textured surfaces provide additional tonal variations by creating rubbing sounds.
- The sound possibilities can be further expanded using the unique microphone ports found in each chamber. Small mics can be mounted for amplification and to capture the wondrous internal sounds.
- LP Udu Drums are generally played in a seated position with the drum on the player's lap. They can also be played on a table top or floor using the included straw ring stands.
- Tear drop shaped drums provide wet, liquidy sounds and easy playability

A glissando effect can be produced by running the supplied mallet across the bells in a down or upward motion. Alternatively, the bells can also be struck individually, with players able to experiment with different melodies and rhythms.
The instrument creates a bright and shimmering sound and is often used to accentuate the start or end of passages of music
