G'day or as we say Goorie, Thanks for your comments everyone. Its about time I updated that didge film. I am not as young as I was in that film. I miss my old dog Bungy. Miss ya mate. I wish everyone a great day/night. Happy didgeridooing, David Dahwurr Hudson
When termites are a good thing to have... I am from America (Kentucky) ,but by chance I live in Bavaria,Germany now.. I understand how much you miss your dog..I have lost mine to stroke and 1 to cancer....They were Black lab mixes..One coming from a kill shelter..Which she had been abused and was afraid of everything..and sick as well...(Kennel cough the went into an infection) and under weight.. She got well with antibiotics thankfully,and I worked with her everyday ...The first time I saw her happy she had tore the hell out of my plastic flower pot and was playing with it...I was so happy that I cried..She was an awesome girl..I named her Belle Starr..Years later a severe stroke took her away from me...Broke my heart when she passed ...She was not just a pet she was my best friend.. I have always loved the sound of the Didgeridoo..Thank you for doing this video...
We have hollow trees here in the US too. Different wood and more likely to be hollowed out by carpenter ants, but after watching this, I think I can make it work. I like the thought of the insects and wood making most of the instrument. It is more special when you create your own instruments from nature. I also watched the video on how to play. Thank you for all the great information.
@@garrettgolden1851 im in New England, ants do the same thing here. Most of our wood is pine, oak, maple, birch, hickory. I wish we still had chestnut trees, that would make a sound to behold.
Yeah, you are in fact absolutley right!!! That is the vehicle in which life came to Earth from Mars..... Next thing you know aliens are making didgeridoos Lolz
This was the first instructional video I had on playing and making the didj almost 20 years ago. Dave Hudson is a legend. I was fortunate enough to play in Alice Springs with Andrew Langford who was extremely helpful in helping me develop new vocalisations. Such a simple yet expressive vocal instrument
Same here! Bought this on vhs in 1998 or 99 from an Aussie shop in Bruges. About a year later the shop flew Hudson over to give a show and presentation on didge and aboriginal culture. He even signed my didge!
I live in India (in the outskirts), i find this is inspiring! I happen to live near lots of eucalyptus trees (Vestiges of plantations from colonial times ; Pretty old them trees ). I will be surveying them tomorrow morning so I can make one for myself! Thank you Samuel Wright for uploading this.. . And my thanks to David, a legend indeed. I will surely be making one just like he suggests at 8:31 (It will be special to me, it will be in his honor and will be a special sight among my instruments given it is such a rare instrument in my country)!
Thank you David Hudson and Samuel Wright! Australia is such a beautiful place with all these beautiful people and things. After stumbling upon this amazing video, I feel like making a didgeridoo out of a local tree here in Kazakhstan even if I'm not sure if we have similarly hollow trees. I'll definitely start looking.
so, who was the first person to look at a termite eaten-tree and say to themselves..."this would make a great video on youtube someday? I want to say thank you.
Hehheh. This is awesome! Hi David and thanks Samuel for shooting these vids. Shortly after I heard a didge player here in San Francisco for the first time, I found & bought a few of David's early albums (Woolunda and Gunyal) and immediately bought a few real eucalyptus didges from Australia and have been playing ever since ;-) Huge inspiration and thanks!! So nice to see you here!
Goorie David my mate is from quinkin country as well. You fulla's from up there are pretty gifted Mooks is Duppi warra & a very gifted artist. i had been gifted into making Yidaki & just waving a hand young fulla you keep safe. Love your playing.
Hi Sir David, so i learned to play didgeridoo at an arts fest here in grahamstown south africa, i in about '91 got given a cassette earth heart was it's name, on the other side was a more rural recording, the sounds of didge bees... The sounds of talking about the bees and then just around the fire the gentlemen playing a session, very deep and real... ive hunted Internet to find this cassette recording and still haven't, please please do U have any idea, was the best barefoot type corroboree ive ever listened to... Thank U🙏
Termites - "Well done everyone, it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears... but we're finished... we've successfully hollowed out this tree... now we can finally start out lives as a great community..." *a wild david hudson approaches* "Eh thiies one weell myke a beauty Oy theenk"
termites eat wood but they mostly live underground or in mounds. Unlike carpenter ants, which hollow out trees to make their nests but don't eat the wood, as they can't digest it.
During the ice ages rocks were deposited all over the place by glaciers. That rock could be from one of the first ice ages 100s of millions of years ago
Just a silly observation here but what geologic process put that massive rock there? It seems like a glacial erratic but I can't imagine that area of the world saw a glacier since its address was Pangaea .
Damn, one of my friends went over to Australia a year or so back. I should have asked her if she could get me a few of those hollowed out trees. I know there's small hollowed out trees where I'm at, but I want an authentic Australian hollowed out tree to fix up like Dave did.
so... I've been practicing with my bioplastic on cardboard... one meter of didge... like a soprano kinda my cats love it.. the dogs next door love it.. my dog.. no worries.. does his famous dead dog imitation... sleeps through anything except dinner
the bioplastic comes from bamboo... and I add a white volcanic ash.. like mullock heaps at an opal mine.. it has palladium in it... makes the stuff ring like a bell with that extra ingredient all musical instruments need ❤️
DUDE YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING TIME INSIDE??? YOU CAN'T STEAL THIS PRODUCE!! I'M NOT JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS COVID 19 TOO!! !!!!!!!! HE IS SO AMAZING!! SUITS ME WELL THANKS! HOPE YOUR DAD IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M TRYING TO GET YOUR ANSWER NOW!
@@BaddaBigBoom I'm just saying that it's actually impossible,! So...... I'm not sure what you're doing. I will get back to you with the information about the issue. You're not comprehending. You actually don't have a clue what youre doing!! !! It's impossible because it's not just me or you it's everyone.
@@BaddaBigBoom I'm saying ppu need to save this now!!!!! If not it might be lost dude!!!!! Ffs,!!!! Than upload it immediately!!! Do you hear me bro!!!!! Do it straight away! ! ! ! Ffs!!!!! I'M NOT JOKING!!!!!!!!! You just can't do it right!!!! You don't know!!!!!!
Those trees were already dead. They were eaten from the inside by termites. They can live a bit with termites (just a few) but infested to the point of having the bark stripped (which always kills the tree) and becoming so hollow that they can be pushed over, nothing can save the tree at that point.
Howard is 2021 all day bro! I am happy that he is very good with his own tree. He will probably have an idea for what he is doing next time. He is a good person who knows what he's doing. He's really keen to play the music. He said that he would be interested in doing this work again. He is very good. Thanks

Ochre. They're natural colors. Red, yellow, black. Add water, and a he said, the iron oxide in the stones he used to crush and mix the ochres help it last longer. You can buy them online if you want. All paints come from natural pigments. Some are poisonous (painters and their assistants went crazy and/or died from mixing them). The ochres aren't.

Great instrument if you snore mate.

@@rosco3516 right on! I have yet to get my hands on a didge (tree) naturally hollowed out, but I make mine out of bamboo and copper.
@@rosco3516 so the ants up there hollow out all types of trees?
*breaks his didgeridoo*
David's mum: Where you going?
David: To find myself a didge, be right back.
These guys really went out there cut a tree down and made an instrument. Fucking amazing
Look at that Boulder rock they are working near . Fantastic . Looks like a meteor
Thinking the same thing!
Yeah, you are in fact absolutley right!!! That is the vehicle in which life came to Earth from Mars..... Next thing you know aliens are making didgeridoos Lolz
@@franksantiago7519 it's probably how the Australians communicate with the aliens 😂
I think the same
That is normal in the outback (Australian bush)

I'm watching this for school.
this video was so peaceful i almost cried
This video is a beaut mate even if its 9 years young thank you for the awesome learning experience
FINALLY! An Australian tech channel showing an NATIVE Australian doing the thing. MY (nonexistent)God! That is so frikken good.
Thank you David Hudson and Samuel Wright! Australia is such a beautiful place with all these beautiful people and things.
After stumbling upon this amazing video, I feel like making a didgeridoo out of a local tree here in Kazakhstan even if I'm not sure if we have similarly hollow trees. I'll definitely start looking.
he forgot his hat
I've lived in Australia all my life and this is my first time seeing
Colonist and missionaries have destroyed lot - all over the world and still doing it, covert way
This is such a science it's wonderful.
Forget about any other upload, this is it !! The best instructional vid for making a didgeri from a real indigenous Aussie, Mr Dave Hudson.
That rock yall workin by is amazing❤️ not to mention the specific vibrations that come out of the didge❤️ thank you❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
so, who was the first person to look at a termite eaten-tree and say to themselves..."this would make a great video on youtube someday? I want to say thank you.
Pretty sure this is a ancient aborigione instrument
@@oscard.lisboa6105 whoooosh

that is a really nice shirt dave hudson also didgeridoo is a very interesting instrument
Top video, charming and insightful!!
Love this video.. and had enormous fun making it with you.. sadly the ‘Dugong’ never got to really star.. 😭
great vid, no bullshit, just love the bush
Brilliant! Thank you for your oh so real Being 🙏🌟🙏
Handy From Taxas! Sounds great!
Amazing! I want to make one!
Very inspired to paint mine. I’m in the pacific NW. I’ll need to look up what the locals of old used for dyes in this area.
It's a beautiful video!
g,day mate just bought a cd of yours...orrkney scotland...
Thanks for the great vid David!
I learned the didgeridoo because of it!
Cheers!
Great video mate, thanks for sharing 👍
beautiful
that rock in the middle of eucaliptus forest...strange place..and nice too
During the ice ages rocks were deposited all over the place by glaciers. That rock could be from one of the first ice ages 100s of millions of years ago
"This one here...come back in a couple of weeks and she'll be a nice old ripe didegidoo!" Hehheh. ;-)
later on he says " there's one over here that's already been eaten out." I wouldn't have laughed so hard had i not read you comment lol.
And this Gentleman, is why I date older women ...
Just a silly observation here but what geologic process put that massive rock there? It seems like a glacial erratic but I can't imagine that area of the world saw a glacier since its address was Pangaea .
There’s a very happy good boi at 6:31
Wait! Arn’t you suppose to ask for permission from the tree? But just fascinating and beautiful
only if its alive
Um... is it ever going to say no?
Awsum video awsum bush true Australian thanks mate
Am I the only one here who thinks he's gorgeous!
Nope. He is really handsome.
I would have loved to see the didg painted without the paintbrush. Mainly curious to see how it would have been done.
not sure but I would guess there is a way to make a paintbrush out of bush materials, like bristles from a reed plant or animal hair?
@@otterpupp we use wattles for brushes. Looks awesome
much thanks brotha' David for sharing
Very interesting docu cause before I decide to buy one I want information about the history and traditions.
Man a didge like that would be at least $500 if baught in a store
Didgeridoo's are COOL !!
This is what id call a sort of productive deforestation, as i imagine a hollow tree burns much hotter and more readily than a non hollowed tree.
How to make sure the left over termites don't end up in your home?
That looks like a meteor they are standing next to
the best video on the construction of the didgeridoo, thank you !
Damn, one of my friends went over to Australia a year or so back. I should have asked her if she could get me a few of those hollowed out trees. I know there's small hollowed out trees where I'm at, but I want an authentic Australian hollowed out tree to fix up like Dave did.
Deadly brother ❤️🖤💛
Wanjoo my friends which means “welcome my friends”
another great vid from the didgeridude
Didgeridoo^**
nah, he plays the didgeridoo, he is the didgeridude
lmao
sweet dig'es dude😏
Imagine the first aboriginal that cut the tree found it was hollow then tried blowing air through it
Good video
Awesome fantastic.!
here idk if we have hollow trees {very well painted
Russel Wilson?
How do you know that the tree is hollow by hitting it? Pitch changes?
If echoes inside. Sort of like a watermelon, the ones that are ready and have juice in them will make a louder and more echoed sound.
Nice work! Thanks!
That is so amazing!! Thanks for sharing the video.
People are missing the point of the creation and purpose of the didgeridoo. It's all about the omm frequency., if it's not please explain ?
very good informative video keepin me motivated to Connect more with my Didge, thanks
I wonder if circular breathing is therapeutic for emphysema?
when were digeridoos introduced to cape york?
3:27 bro died in a lego game
awsome
maaaaaaan... you didnt play it at the end :(
geeetube
Look up "how to play a didgeridoo" and you'll find a video of him playing.
thanks boss i did... and the video that came up was him playing this one he just made... sweeeeeeeeet..... just what i was after :)
We’re they filming on a meteor
Looked like it lol
That rock was huge
This guy is quite the mate.
he gotta look out for the quinkins
Great work mate.
thank you
can you make this with any type of tree?
I miss Home!!!
Good job!! Awesome!!
this is so beautiful wow what a cool video
❤
can i find suitable wood in europe?
Yes, but you have to hollow it yourself :-) I recommend an angle grinder with an Arbortech attached.
What does he use for paint? at 8:00. He says something I don't understand.
Ochre. Natural clay pigment.
so... I've been practicing with my bioplastic on cardboard... one meter of didge... like a soprano kinda
my cats love it.. the dogs next door love it.. my dog.. no worries.. does his famous dead dog imitation... sleeps through anything except dinner
Walk in Beauty brother... this day... and every day
✌️
the bioplastic comes from bamboo... and I add a white volcanic ash.. like mullock heaps at an opal mine.. it has palladium in it... makes the stuff ring like a bell
with that extra ingredient all musical instruments need ❤️

watching this made me so uncomfortable just because there were cutting down trees. (just feels wrong)
Have to cut trees etc down over here to prevent bush fires getting out of hand - amongst other things.
Those trees were already dead. They were eaten from the inside by termites. They can live a bit with termites (just a few) but infested to the point of having the bark stripped (which always kills the tree) and becoming so hollow that they can be pushed over, nothing can save the tree at that point.
Came for the didgeridooing. Stayed for the fantastic ASMR :)
