The Terre "Udu Oben" is an incredible drum !

This Udu Oben beats the competition hands down . It's a better sounding drum , being louder and having much better bass and treble tones, with one small adjustment. I take a 2 oz."Americana" plastic acrylic paint bottle , empty 3/4's of the paint out of it and use it as a spacer between your leg and the underside of the drum neck right past the lip of the large hole of the drum . This elevates the drum off of your leg giving it incredible clear volume and crystal clear bell tone highs.
