Hey guys, I'm almost certain I learned about an instrument in this thread but I can't find it for the life of me. It's a pitched percussion instrument made out of metal (brass?) in a generally circular shape with a hole in the top and a tube on one side that you can also put your hand over to get different sounds out of it. Generally speaking it had a very deep sound, but could go from djembe sounds to more metallic ones depending on how you played it. Can anyone tell me what it was called?

Edit: I guess it's just a udu. I didn't think the flatter, metal versions were called the same thing.

Udus are definitely sweet. It just seemed different enough in my mind that I was surprised to find that what I described wasn't really called anything different.
