3 Didgeridoo Exercises You Should Do Every Day
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- After a few billion years being asked to do a video with some didgeridoo exercises, finally it's here: 3 basic but great exercises that you can do to bring your didgeridoo power to a new level! The point of these exercises is that they address three main aspects of didgeridoo playing. What is more, each of the exercises can be made harder or easier, depending on your level, but as long as you practice all three types of exercises, your didgeridoo practice will be complete.

Un grand merci pour cette vidéo claire, précise, synthétique. Je fais les exercices chaque jour et... je commence à recueillir les fruits de mes efforts! Love. 🙏😍🥰🌞
A simple instrument, that is not really so simple...
Thanks for the guidelines of things to work on.
Kind of like meditation. What's more simpler then sitting and breathing, yet it takes a life time
Thank you, Legend! Every video of yours is SUPER helpful. A lot of practice awaits :D
Thank you for taking time to share your experiences with us. 🙏🏼
Great exercises! Thank you for sharing.
I noticed the toots on the teak didge are effortless while trying to do toots on my PVC didge is SO difficult. I understand now why it was so difficult to get a hang of them.
SB: I'm also working on that response video for your exercise video. I just hate recording myself. But it'll get done
Great exercises and great explanation! Keep on exploring crazy simple "complex" things... All the best and regards from Portugal :-)
Once more thank you soooo much for your beautiful teachings. It is informative and inspiring. I would love to see a new tutorial on your percussive sounds. It is so special the way you do it.
i was at FATT festival and i just got my first didgeridoo there, than i arrive home search for didgeridoo exercises and the first video i found its you ! one of the best players who was there !! really nice to learn from you , big hug for Druyd
thank you for spending the time and sharing your rich knowledge to enlighten us ... Namaste 🙏 💜
i'd like to say thanks... 'cause i was searching for a good tutorial on basic sound, but after seeing your video i actualy figured out what i was doing wrong all along and why i was kinda stuck with the sound i had. and this video took me one step further in my practice, now i can get more sounds out of my instrument and finaly do correctly what i was trying to work on before that.
i'm a beginer and that helped me a lot. thank's for helping me to actualy make real progress.
Very kind and helpful advise. Thank you so much
Thank you Du, amazing and useful video. Love your playing and teaching. Peace
You are so brutally welcome, and thank You a lot!
thank you for your teachings!!
Amazing lessons. Thank you
I'm really glad I found your channel because I've had my didgeridoo for some time now but because I was essentially trying to teach myself how to play and as you can imagine I was struggling. And because I wasn't really making any kind progress everything stagnated and there my beautiful didgeridoo sat waiting for the day I would return.
Now with the help of your videos (as well as a few others) I feel like I will be able to get a handle on the fundamentals so I can build a good strong foundation for advancing with this amazing instrument. Because if you pick up bad playing habits when you're first learning it can really screw you up later on but hopefully I'll be able to avoid making those kind of mistakes now .
Keep doing what you do and thanks for all the educational content man!
Hopefully I'll be able to make playing look as easy as you do one day!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. After two days of practice, I am able to register the sound of a conch shell and/or the booming siren of a ship......but I will get to The Drone today :)
thank you fot posting such a lesson!
Really nice tutorial.... thank you very much!
you are a master, real deep eyes, your heart speak more then your words big ups!
12:18 Omg so good!!!!!! You’re awesome💗💗💗 I’m so happy I discovered you. Just got my first didgeridoo and you are #1. Can’t figure how to make the drum sound but I’m going to keep trying ...🤔
I practice your training every days since 3 months (okay, sometime i missed a day..). It made me progress a lot!
Thanks a lot for sharing :-)
This is what I really LOVE to hear! That you've put it into practice! I am surprised it works! ;-)
@@DuendeDidgeridoo I love your accent. It is funny in your reply. I don't think you meant that you are surprised it works you mean you are happy that it works
exactly, so good. Check this guy, here is a great inspiration for me: th-cam.com/video/1xoCY3d4x9c/w-d-xo.html what do you think?

for a billion years. But now the time has come and your practice will
make all the difference for the next billion years to be better! So your
comment is just perfect.

Very good. You are a good teacher. I can't do circler breathing because, I was viciously attacked and broke my jaw my noise and crushed my chest. I have on going problems for the rest of my life because of the injeries. I can play the didgeridoo but differently. Your exercises helps. Thank- you for you good advice, it's really appreciated
I´m starting gidging, Thank you for the homework !! Excellent video. All the best from Mendoza Argentina !!!
You are truly a master of lip pressure control. That was very helpful...
Very helpful. Thank you, you are very kind.
Thank you. You too.
Un grand merci pour ce tuto, tu es quelqu'un de gentil et de généreux. J'ai beaucoup appris grâce à ces exercices. Amitié de France.🙏🥰🍾
Btw, this video is dope, really useful tutorial, i'm playing (learning )didge already some time, but when i started doing this as often as i can, i feel good progress in my dige-ing : )
Brilliant thanks very much

OK, so I actually learnt something from you today and I want to thank you for that! :)
THANK YOU!
a lot,lot of help tnks very much gor this video tutorial,so awesome!!!!!
greetings from tijuana,mexico!!!
one cuestione how you maake those high note toots ?!
Strong lips. Good didge. Lots of training.
thanks man !
I think this training is basically for the spit n kiss methods that Europeans play these days. Beatboxing etc. I really don’t like all the tooting and sharp notes as I much prefer the Australian way of playing with major drone sounds with bird and animal calls. Even Yolngu style etc. I can see why you guys like it and it’s very advanced playing most of the time but I hate it. I’m Australian with aboriginal roots so I keep the traditions alive and stay more grounded and connected with what it was designed for
I also like the Yolnu style. Check out Hard tongue didgeridoo by Milkay Mununggurr.
Amazing stuff.
Super clear, well articulated and easy to understand.
it seems you are gifted in teaching as well 😀
Tahnk you brother
love your music and vibe
OM
Thanks! Very glad you like it
This man can teach math me thinks : simple math for kindergarten and complex math for science...
Dubravko ... master player
Wow- awesome tut!! So after learning these excersises, can you do different sounds as if your speaking into it, but leading with the lips? I plan getting a smaller one - 47" long, can I still get the same sounds your showing us?? Thank you!! Hi from NYC! :)
Hi! I am not sure I understand your question. A good didgeridoo is really important for your development. When you become good you can get a lot of sound of a bad didge, but it is difficult to get there with a bad didge. I play didge as my job, so unless you doo the same, you will probably get only an approximation of (some of) these sounds, but it will suffice to allow you to enjoy playing didgeridoo more. If I missed the point of your question, sorry, maybe you can rephrase it then a bit...
Hi Dubravko I am trying to do these exercises on my budget 2" wide from beginning to end PVC non-tapered didg and I just can't do what you do or do it barely. I simply don't seem to have the ability to create / sustain the back pressure that you do. I feel like I am blowing into a huge wide pipe with no resistance which is essentially what my didg IS. The POP drum exercise I absolutely cannot do - UNLESS my lips are an inch away from the opening! Yes I can do basic drones and warbles but not the advanced stuff, I really need to figure out if my budget didg really is an issue or am I THE ISSUE. The didg you are using in this exercise, what is the internal diameter - probably it varies and is TAPERED unlike mine & what is the overall diameter? I really would like to know this.
the best...
Quite the contrary for me I'm not interested in playing fast. I'm more interested in the traditional way of playing. But it doesn't matter what style you like to play, technique is super important.
hvala dudo
I am working with PVC didgeridoos with beeswax mouthpieces I am trying to learn. I've been doing it for years not seriously at all now I'm really trying to learn and my grandkids are trying to learn what is easiest didgeridoo to play are they easier if the diameter is smaller. Are the box didgeridoos easier??
🙏❤️
you can throw in toots so effortlessly. How I have to like prepare and then I dont always hit it. any tips??
try a 3-month everyday practice per this video ☝`
yessss yessss yesssss
I'm struggling with the second exercise, I just can't make the clear sound
A new video that will help you exactly for the second exercise is coming! :-)
What's the name of your cap ?
wow ive never heard the didge played that way !!!!!
I wish all of you incredible people like this teacher here would put the dollar sign thank you icon thing below your videos so it would be very easy to drop you the $20 bill
Ouch
che gran ffffigooooo
how many different didgeridoos do you want to practice with? I have like 12 didges and one of them gets 99% of my time.. pros or cons? should I be playing on all of them equal time? how does that effect practice? for overall playing in mind
Hey Sean!
Great question! You have a quite common situation. This is usually the case
when one didge is a) much better than the others or b) much more
familiar than others to you. My thinking is that the amount of time you
dedicate to each of 12 depends on how different they are. If they are
all similar, then it doesn't matter. In my case I usually perform with 3
different didges that cover most of the possibilities for my playing.
One is 232cm long very thin F# (octave below usual), then I have
slightly conical B or C around 200cm. Then very conical Eb at 186cm. If I
add one to those 3 I add a very tight F or E. If I add another didge, I
add 4.5meters D# with huge volume. I guess my logic is quite
straightforward. What I like to practice is to be very flexible with
changing those didges. So sometimes I take a high F and a low F and play
same exercises on them with minimum breaks in between the change. This
makes my lips and breath very strong, flexible and responsive. And to
add another idea, I think to have a great didge is a great help in
practice. One great one means more than 100 bad ones.... I hope this
answer helps.
you're inspiration for me! this video has improved my playing. thank you so much for your time. ❤️
Awesome man. That beanie though ;) lol
Thousands of beanies made by Ze Mother... got to wear them all! ;-)
@@DuendeDidgeridoo I think they are cool!
@@sjeter61 I second that!
i’m having a hard time reprogramming my brain to allow breathe out the mouth while simultaneously allowing breathe in through the nose. does this come naturally with time, or is it a very specific skill that needs to be obtained?
Both. But there are tons of circular breathing videos, including one on this channel. I recommend to check it out!
Hey I'm just wondering for the breath pulses - to make the short bursts of air - do I move my tongue into an 'ng' position or is it more behind the teeth in a 't' tongue position?
Loving these exercises, thankyou!
Yes we see us and drink some beer.Laugh
5:34 my lips keep vibrating.. any further advice how to master this exercise?
You need to check out didgeridoo drum sound tutorial under my videos and it will be MUCH clearer!
12:12 ...😍🤣😧😮
Haha my thoughts exactly
Just curious... were you influenced at all by Ondrej Smeykal? Or do you feel your playing style developed independently?
Hey Clarinetcat!
I remember you from many years ago, since Ondrej started touring in the US, that you became a fan who expressed his impression on Ondrej publicly. Maybe if I managed to get a visa for the US, we would have become friends as well ;-) Anyway, to reply your question, I want to address the second part of the question and say that it is utterly impossible for anyone living on this planet to claim that kind of exclusion. Not me, not Ondrej, not Picasso, not Da Vinci, not Tesla, not Socrates... not any single human being ever. So even hearing something once influences you or in other words, it flows into you. That being said, Ondrej influenced me far beyond that. We are old friends now, but in the beginning he was really opening portals of perception for me and I still think very highly of him as a player and as a human being. However, I think it is very wrong to try to "explain" what I do now by any single source, apart from the Creative Force of the Universe that created All. It is impossible to track back influences as they are intertwined and date back to the Big Bang. Ondrej didn't become the player he is on a secluded island as well, and so forth. Furthermore, I'd like to say that many influences are "imperfect copies" that might be better than the original. For example, when I developed Aircode, I wasn't influenced by Ondrej at all, but by other players, who also didn't play Aircode, but there was something in that playing that brought me to the place of Aircode. I don't know how well you know didgeridoo scene of Europe from 20 years ago, but things do appear and connect in a way that would be very surprising for the public if it was more known. So... did you get what you were looking for in my answer? Did you ever do exercises from this video?
All the best!
Du
@@DuendeDidgeridoo Yes, I think I did get what I was looking for in your answer :) I took a 10+ year hiatus from playing didge regularly, and stumbled across this video as I plan to start playing daily again. Thanks for the homework list of exercises, best to you!
@@clarinetcat Welcome back! The didge world has changed in many ways in the last 10 years. The good ways that it has changed are new ways of playing, new sounds, new didgeridoos. All in all, you can find a bigger world when your lips touch the mp and your eyelids go down. Along with the fundamental exercises, I would recommend trying something you've never done before. Like aircode. Especially if you can mic yourself at home and it is simple in these days... Good luck!
Liebe Didgeridoo Fans!
Hier ein Hinweis auf ein Didgeridoo Treffen bei dem Ihr viele Didgeridoo Spieler persönlich kennenlernen könnt!
Treffen - Austauschen - Workshops - Session - Konzert - Didgeridoo Ausstellung - Kino
facebook.com/events/3060015707374467/?ti=icl
Seid teil der Didgeridoo Community! Ich freue mich darauf Euch!
Yes I am comming to the Black Forrest.And then we drink some Weizenbeer ok
I didn't understand the part with the tongue blocking the air. You unfortunately only showed it through the Didgeridoo
Have a look at the new video "didgeridoo drum sound tutorial" it is explained in depth there and you can see how the position of the tongue is in a sketch. It is the only possible way to show what tongue is doing, because with or without didge it is equally invisible.
An amazing lesson and teacher BUT the term “Neanderthal” used I find offensive if your using towards our Australian brothers and sisters?
Thanks for your comment, but please please explain what do Neanderthals have to do with our Australian brothers and sisters... =)
Dubravko Thank you for your reply! A big misunderstanding as I thought.
You wouldn’t disrespect the originators of the beautiful instrument you use.
Peace my brother.
12:23 "dont take a poop"
Great video, but I bet you're a great kisser too😁😘😁😘😍
Ah, I thought so too, but my boyfriends told me I am just average... ;-) So thank you a lot for the comment!
Bla bla bla
great vid, Du ... simple, clear and efficient ... information about mastering the basics in the end is crucial for many players .)
Yes! Mastering the basics really means mastering. Not just
passing over basics. And if we look around at all great players we will
notice that they indeed have basics on a master level. When the
foundation is very strong, it is easy to progress.
Dubravko Lapaine Didgeridoo excellent...
