ha! better than solid player giving amazing lessons! ;-)

Thank you! BEST watcher!

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!

If we count the rhythm as 123 123 12, I breathe on 2s and 3s. On the "tup", just after the sound.

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.

i know this is a drum sound tutorial . am curios about your breathing,,,,,,,,,
