We take advantage of the experience which we have accumulated over the last 25 years when developing our new products. It is with great pride that we present the 2inOne deluxe and dual Cajones as well as the new Bass Cajones for the first time in our main programme 07/08. We especially wish to point out our Booster Set, the first percussive drumset “made in Germany”. This is exactly what is reflected in our catalogue: our vast experience has led to the manufacture of mature instruments as well as polished and convincing new developments. We think this is very exciting!

These can be easily positioned around the resonance hole. INFO 2inOne-Technique with 84 spirals The picture on the right shows us the new Snare cross-bar with a total of 84 spirals. The spirals are extremely sensitive and the player is rewarded with a rich snare sound even at a minimal volume.

Thanks to its 2inOneTechnique, a wide spectrum of sound can be achieved, ranging from originally Cuban sounds to banging rimshots when used as a snare. The Cajinto Solo makes a shining impression by combining the Cajon sound with the succinct pitches of a Quinto.

By loosening the screws, these slaps can be intensified with a typical Cajon wood-smacking effect! The advantages of the 2inOne-Snare technique can be used as well.

Inspired by the original African Udu, our new designs and developments have resulted in a wide range of models. The origin of the Udu® drums lies in the wonderful sound of these earthenware Members of the Hausa and Ibo tribes discovered instruments with two openings. Udu means “clay pot” in the language of the Ibos. Originally from Africa, the Udu can also be found in Latin America and the Caribbean. Having made the leap into western music culture, Schlagwerk Udus belong to the basics of every percussionist as sound-effect and rhythm instruments. They are played by rhythmically opening and closing the side-hole with the palm of the hand. This produces a deep bass tone, reminiscent of the sound of the Indian Tabla. body-sound This playing technique is combined with the bright, percussive by hitting any part of the pot with produced the fingers. All Udu® Drums are hand-turned – this manufacturing technique guarantees optimum sound development. 27 UDUDrums U 15 Piccolo Udu® Not to be outdone, our baby of the family, the piccolo, yields an effective sound, which is enhanced by a loosely attached shaker. A practical instrument for in-between. Twin Udu® Our Twin Udu® construction design has made it possible to control the pitch and the result is a Set of 2 model with superb tonal harmony. The sound is distinctly earthy, with a short, powerful bass tone and a full, rich body-sound. Response is quick. U 10 H Twin Udu® high tonal range H 26 cm Ø 23 cm, with floor base U 20 T Twin Udu® lower tonal range H 28 cm Ø 25 cm, with floor base U 80 Neck Udu® U 30 Twin Udu® Set of 2 H 35 cm Ø 25 cm, with floor base This Udu® is designed in the fashion of the African original. The long, ribbed neck can also be played and yields a high percussive sound – an appealing interval to the bass root tone. U 10 H and U 20 T A practical solution: a condensor microphone with a clip (e.g. beyerdynamic Opus 82) 28 Audio examples at www.schlagwerk.com U 62 Basic Udu® U 60 Bass Udu® the original H 35 cm Ø 27 cm with floor base Construction and shape identical with the U 60 Bass Udu®, but available in a smaller size. H 40 cm Ø 31 cm, with floor base This Udu is formed after the traditional construction methods of the east Nigerian Ibo tribe, and is very much a bass tonal range Udu®. The Skin Udu® is the highlight of our Udu® range and offers a variety of features. Apart from the side sound hole, which yields soft, round harmonious bass tones, this Udu® has a thin, natural skin. Depending on the playing technique, this high pitched, pre-tuned membrane is capable of producing a kaleidoscope of sounds ranging from deep resonant basses to powerful Darabuka-related, high tonal sounds. The varying surface strengths of this Udu mean that it is capable of two body-sounds, which can be produced by playing with the fingers and technique and yield a stony-percussive sound type. The combination of oriental drum sounds and soft low pitched bass tones create a unique and inspiring sound experience. U 50 Bongodu H 40 cm Ø 20 cm, with floor base Adapted from the skin drum, this Udu® has a slightly domed playing surface with two sound holes for playing, which yield different bass tones, while the rest of the body produces a whole range of varied sounds.

A tension ring allows for tuning of the natural skin head. A wealth of sound possibilities for all atmospheres and wishes. H 35 cm Ø 25 cm, with floor base The new Side Skin Udu®, differs significantly from the other models due to the side position of the natural skin playing surface. This enables the player to use new techniques, e. g. playing the membrane and the side hole with one hand simultaneously.

Our Wind Chimes come in three different prevailing moods. Based on a tonic keynote, they are tuned in pentatonic sequences which give each one its own individual sound character. Most of the moods are based on planetary tones and have been set in audible frequencies by transposing an octave above or below. The oscillatory nature in the higher tonal ranges and the harmonious tonal images are the distinguishing features of these wind chimes. Each one of the wind chimes has been tuned to a pure interval with highprecision measuring instruments.
