BOOMWHACKERS - TUNED PERCUSSION TUBES

klik voor grote afbeelding

Brightly colored percussion tubes for handicapped people, kids and kids-at-heart. You can whack almost anything and ... boom, you are making music. The length of the tube defines the tune and is identified by the color. It is easy in groups to distribute the tubes by length and color for playing songs. They come in pentatonic, diatonic and chromatic sets. If you put a cap (called an octavator) on one end the tune lowers one octave. You can also play the tubes holding them vertically and tap on the floor; they become a stamping tube. They come packed in a net.

Boomwhackers are brightly colored musical tubes that have won many awards including best 25 of 25 years from Parent's Choice. But they don't stop there, they are used by professional musicians and by teachers in the class room. The manufacturers have sold over 3.5 million around the world with the numbers growing exponentially.

Boomwhackers zijn tonaal gestemde ritme-instrumenten. De buizen zijn uit onverwoestbaar kunststof gemaakt. Ze zijn keurig gestemd en kunnen onmiddellijk en door iedereen bespeeld worden. Met deze buizen kan je op tafel, op de grond, op je hand of op je been slaan. Je kan ze ook bespelen met kloppers. Sla je de boomwhackers tegen elkaar, dan ontstaat een akkoord. Boomwhackers zijn al te gebruiken door muzikantjes vanaf 4 jaar! Erg leuk en educatief!

UDU - SKIN UDU - UDU BONG

udu

skin udu

Behalve het feit dat Udu's er mooi uitzien hebben ze een schitterend geluid dat doet denken aan de Indiase Tabla en de Senegalese Talking drum. De Udu is gemaakt van gebakken klei en wordt met de handen en vingers bespeeld, door met de vlakke hand op 1 van de openingen te slaan krijg je een bastoon die lijkt op de klank van een tabla, met de vingers op de 'body' slaan geeft weer een hoog geluid, zoals je ziet heeft de udu boven een vlakke zijkant waardoor je ook "congaslaps" kan toepassen. Alle Udu's zijn handgedraaid.

The beautiful Udu Drum originates from Nigeria. Surprisingly, it began not as a percussion instrument, but as a common clay pot made for carrying water. When a potter from the ancient Ibo Tribe inadvertently made an opening in the side of one of his vase-shaped water vessels, he discovered the pot's earthy, musical sound. Because some believed its haunting tone to be the "voice of the ancestors", the simple side-hole drum -- sculpted from earth, water, fire and air -- came to be an important part of religious ceremonies in southern and central Nigeria. Though the drum had different names depending on the region in which it was used, "Udu" was the Ibo name, meaning both "pottery" and "peace" in the tribal language.

The Udus are instruments of the finest quality. They are capable of creating beautiful sounds in the hands of both trained musicians and novice players. Their low, unique vibrations are as pure and spiritual as a heartbeat, and their high pitches can be compared to the Indian Tabla Drums. Their tones are similar to the African Talking Drums, and they have sound qualities that no skin-covered drum can obtain.

SKIN UDU

De Skin Udu is het paradepaardje van onze Udu reeks en biedt een hele waaier van mogelijkheden. Het zijdelingse klankgat produceert zacht, ronde, harmonieuze bastonen. Deze udu heeft een dun, natuurlijk vel. Afhankelijk van de gebruikte speltechniek is dit voorafge"tuned" membraan in staat om een hele kaleidoskoop van klanken voort te brengen gaande van diepe resonerende bassen tot krachtige Darabuka-achtige klanken.

De combinatie van oosterse drumklanken en zachte diepe bassen creërt een unieke en inspirerende klankervaring.
