I'm going through a percussion obsession. I hope this is a culmination! I bought this udu kind of on a whim after considering a tabla. This is much cheaper and has a bit of the feel of a tabla, I think.
Well, to be honest I'll probably end up with another of these, if I know myself!
Recorded in very low natural window light, and edited in Davinci Resolve. I boosted exposure in Resolve, which accounts for the grotty looking video if you look closely. I just couldn't be bothered to set up lighting.
Audio recorded on my Zoom H6 with the X/Y stereo mic attached. Naturally, my AC came on as I was ready to record. I did some EQ and noise reduction in Resolve. Hopefully not too damaging to the audio.

About the Ride
Please check out http://gravelmap.com, which is how I discovered the road in this installment. Highly recommended!
Paytons Ridge Road is a gravel road surrounded by woods in Owen County, KY. I found it on gravelmap.com. Its one of the shorter trips from Lexington, so I decided to check it out.
Takeaway: while the wooded gravel road is pleasant (except for some deeper gravel sections), ultimately, Paytons Ridge Road is a disappointment for motorcycling. Along the way there were private and no trespassing signs, but they were facing directly at the road, which I interpret as stay off my property, as opposed to turn back. However, after about a mile I discovered a No Trespassing sign more obviously facing road users, which made me decide to turn around.
