Thank you so much guru ji! I picked up the digd just 3 days ago and there has been so much progress because of your videos. Very grateful! Love from India ❤️
This is extremely helpful. Thanks for all the knowledge and carefully worded lessons. The profile camera angle from the side really helped me see what your mouth is doing.
im applying your 3 daily exercises, but i was feeling a little bit stuck on the breath pulses so this video its fakin awesome for me right now bro, thanks!
Incredible video! As professional trombonist I get out this sound quite easily, but I had to watch the video to discover that possibility.. I hope I once will be able to manage the changes between drone and drum sound 50% as virtuous like you do... but I double I will get there :P
Wow! It never occurred to me that this could be applied on other woodwind instruments... but you are right! It can be! And on harmonica it could be great, but there is another drum sound on the didgeridoo that could work even better for harmonica because it uses a bit more of airflow and stronger attack. The problem is that I have a big problem teaching that sound ;-/
That sounds interesting. I would like to hear/ see you do that even if you can't describe/each it. As I also play Bodhran and Cajon drums so I'm always on look out for anything interesting that crosses over. Do you think the difference in the physiology between a male and female oral cavity/larynx etc. is the main reason males play better didge? I just can't get any "strength" in my pops etc.
Hey Alison! You can hear this drumming sound throughout this song: music.lapaine.com/track/prorok-oblaka It is a much "thicker" drum sound than this one. I can teach it, but without much success! For some reason even great and pro players struggle with it and I didn't figure out why yet. I feel the main reason that males play better generally is because there are much more males who play didgeridoo. Usually through propaganda that is actually a distorted perception of what Aborigines think/feel/say. If we had similar number of female and male players, we could have a better insight of what women are capable of doing. Often we can be surprised at how much women are close in physical strength to males, but for males it is uncomfortable to see. Have a look at running, climbing and even Olympic weightlifting, and even in all those sports there are more men in general. I feel similar is true for didgeridoo playing, maybe women cannot become exactly that strong, but I think they can come pretty damn close! Power to You!
Thank you for your inspiring reply. Now I know I'm on the right track I will keep trying harder and follow my own creativity like you have demonstrated!
Fantastic video. I'm so impressed by your techniques. A friend got me my didgeridoo and it's more of a tourist didgeridoo than an instrument I think--I'm finding that I'm not able to get the same range of resonance that your didgeridoo has. I basically only am able to make that "horn" sound. Does the didgeridoo make a big difference in making that beautiful resonant drum sound you have? Or is more likely my technique is off? (i'm pretty familiar with your talk about the embouchure from my days of trumpet playing)
Thank you. Great inspiration and motivation. One question: in the 8 rhythm, when do you breath? I can circular breath while droning but can't figure it out with pulse rhythms like this.
Thank you for your clear instructions and for teaching the good stuff.. may I ask what type of mouth piece does you mouth piece have? I notice you don’t use wax. - ;-0
www.duendedidgeridoo.com/the-way-of-didgeridoo/mouthpieces/ with time they have become a bit rounder than what I used to use, but that's basically it...
hi du . at 9:25 after the stinky room. where du you take your in breaths within the rythm . thanks for your knowledge . i am beginner that is teetering on the edge of pulling off circular breathing . (its more like circular pressure)i need to practice bounce breathing more . cheers mate.........
Love your work May Be a beautiful arising accessing Earths Stars above mum in father Sun. Brain body between one point’s presence prescience presents place.
if i get more of a tooty sound quality to the drum sound ? what shall i do, is is because i press too hard or not hard enough ? ... I feel like the didge i have currently available is a simple bore, as with others that have a less cylindrical bore and more of a conical toots come more naturally. Is it the same for drum sounds or do i get something wrong technique wise... best regards :) hope someone has an answer
It is difficult to know without hearing it, but probably you press too much front (outer) part of your lips which is same part that you use for toots. Consequently the inner part probably has too little connection and the whole embouchure is too "thin". The embouchure needs to be quite thick. Other problem could be that there is too little of first harmonics in your didge spectrum and too much of higher which then doesn't result in a full punch. But mostly cylindric shaped didges are mostly ok with that.
oh my! The embouchure aperture. I haven't heard that since I learned throat singing.
Thank you so much guru ji! I picked up the digd just 3 days ago and there has been so much progress because of your videos. Very grateful! Love from India ❤️
amazing player giving solid lessons
ha! better than solid player giving amazing lessons! ;-)
So awesome! I've been waiting for someone to post a clear video about this. Thank you so much. Lots of respect for your playing, man!

Top quality job Du. Best wishes from London UK!

Thank you for the detailed instructions in this video to learn to play the didgeridoo instrument...
I'm speechless. Great lesson.
Thanks Du !! The tutorial was very helpful to me !! 😊 and I am excited to learn the variations of drum sounds you do at around 11:30. 🤗
Thank you so much
Hi Du. Thanks a lot. Hopefully see you soon.
Yes, really good. Thank you!
Awesome thanks I enjoy the video thanks for sharing this with us today
This is relevant to my Harmonica playing! Very good extra practice schedule to do for wind/percussion instrument.
Wow! It never occurred to me that this could be applied on other woodwind instruments... but you are right! It can be!
And on harmonica it could be great, but there is another drum sound on the didgeridoo that could work even better for harmonica because it uses a bit more of airflow and stronger attack. The problem is that I have a big problem teaching that sound ;-/

Super chingon mr dubravco, tnks very mucho!!!
Podrías poner subtítulos en español?.

3:18 how to do it
U ar smartest player I ever seen
Thank you. Great inspiration and motivation. One question: in the 8 rhythm, when do you breath? I can circular breath while droning but can't figure it out with pulse rhythms like this.
If we count the rhythm as 123 123 12, I breathe on 2s and 3s. On the "tup", just after the sound.
Thank you for your clear instructions and for teaching the good stuff.. may I ask what type of mouth piece does you mouth piece have? I notice you don’t use wax. - ;-0

i know this is a drum sound tutorial . am curios about your breathing,,,,,,,,,
- THANK's Friend .. :)
i get it!!!! (just the "T" :P

Love your work

How mutch the mouthpiece size influence the outcome?
if i get more of a tooty sound quality to the drum sound ? what shall i do, is is because i press too hard or not hard enough ?
