In this video, Barry Hall presents a thorough overview of clay pot ("udu") drums and how to play them. A variety of playing strokes, from basic to advanced, are explained and demonstrated in detail. An accomplished clay pot drum builder as well as player, Barry also briefly explains the process of building ceramic drums and demonstrates a number of common and unusual udu-family instruments from his collection. Extending the basic strokes, percussionist Matthew Schertz shows how to apply Afro-Cuban, South Indian and Middle Eastern drumming techniques and rhythms to the udu. To round out the presentation, members of the Burnt Earth Ensemble perform several musical selections that show how udus can be musically combined with each other and with other instruments. This 95 minute video is packed with useful and inspiring information and performances. A valuable resource for those new to clay pot drums, it also presents a number of unusual techniques and tricks for more seasoned players.

OK.
It's OK, considering that it is the only tutorial on the UD, as far as I know. The author is a nice person, it shows several kind of udud, which is useful, but it doesn't tech a lot of rhythms.

Home Made video
This video was pretty weak on everything, they shot the video in there living room and in there bedroom. The guy actually teaches you sitting on his bed. Not a good teacher, waste of money.

The video was informative, and fun to watch. I don't think I have watched a video of this variety and had more fun.

Ok for beginners
This video is a great introduction for novice musicians to gain a better insight into the creation of, and techniques used to play the Udu. Unfortunately the video does not provide the type of information that an advanced player could utilize. Overall good introduction to the art of Udu if you are a beginner.

Super Video
This is a great video. Barry Hall presents an engaging and highly informational Udu survey. The sound quality is super and a wide variety of drum designs are discussed and played by several skilled performers. No prior knowledge of Udu or skill base is presumed. The presenters are very kind to the viewer in breaking down the complexities of their performance into bite size learning bits. If you are like me and can't wait to get an Udu after viewing this video, I think that you will find that most of what is taught is quite accessible.The conclusion of the tape features some really tight Udu duets, a gorgeous Udu and ceramic flute duet, and an Udu and "stone fiddle" duet. What is a stone fiddle? I won't spoil the surprise for you, but I will say that it is pretty unbelievable. Downsides? at times the camera work sacrifices aesthetics for a really good look at what is being done with the drum (my wife asked "where is his head?". And If you were Nigerian and had played Udu since childhood, you probably wouldn't go for this one, but then again......
