Playing a Didgeridoo (David Hudson)

David Hudson demonstrates how to play this wonderful instrument in various ways. It is an excellent tutorial on Didgeridoo playing. The Didgeridoo is a traditional instrument of the Aboriginal people from Arnhem Land in Northern Australia. It was originally known as a Yirdaki in the traditional language.

This guy not only plays well, he does something that is exceedingly rare, he explains things well. Very good teacher.

[@kellyhoward6941]

You are so right...so many talented folks (no matter where their talent lies) are not very good teachers...on down to being totally hopeless at teaching. This guy is a genius! (just love the kangaroo imitations). It amazes me that (A) anyone was incredibly creative enough to devise this instrument in the first place, & (B) figured out how to play it without his companions laughing him out of the group. Good on ya, Indigenous Australians! I could never in a million years master the circular breathing. btw, an Aussie Celtic Tribal band that makes good use of a didgeridoo (& bagpipes! & guitar, drums, & piano) is Brother....they're majorly awesome, too.

He can explain alright, but compared to the other two or three videos I've seen of other people, he's not a good teacher. He's demonstrating a bunch of techniques saying things like this "try this with your tongue." My reaction to this is HOW???? Other videos have people teaching step by step.

I remember in grade 3 we were doing a school performance about The Dreamtime and The Rainbow Serpent some Aboriginal elders from the local tribe came by my school to see if anyone of us could play the Didgeridoo well enough to be in the performance. I was the only one of my class who could actually produce a decent enough sound for them to be happy enough to allow us to use the instrument, it was a pretty big honor to be able to play it on stage in ront of hundreds of people even as a kid with no practice haha.

I'm a Yank, and have long been intrigued by the sound of the indigenous Australian didgeridoo. It sounds like nothing else in this world, and the fact it is one of the oldest wind instruments in the world is something to be acknowledged. I have met some Aussie friends here in the United States, and when talking about the didgeridoo, they warned me that it was hard to play. Watching this video done by a Native Australian himself, I now see that they weren't kidding!

[@AdMBandLeader]

The ancient Carnyx of the Celts had a similar sound and tone but of course not exactly the same. The playing styles are very different but techniques with the mouth are similar too. Both are instruments that evolved inspired by animal sounds and nature.

The sound of this instrument has a quality that transcends what can be said in words. It is a primordial sound, one which feels like mother nature is talking to us in a language that only those with open hearts can hear. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@chookinathunderstorm3446]

When I was a child travelling through the outback and some of the deserts of Oz, with my airforce dad and my mum when posted from base to base and back again I experienced a lot of nature in the different regions. Everything out there, when the vehicle engine and track or road noise stopped was just stunning silence. Except for the occasional crow or parrot or finch call. Or the scrambling of a lizard or even the tiniest grains of coarse sand knocked into a tiny landslide by an ant. The landscape colours that seemed muted and pastel, apart from the bright fire red dust, suddenly started popping with bright splashes and veins of the many colours of the spectrum right through to violet. I was between 2 and 8 and 10 and 18 when experiencing this special silence and even at a very young age I remember the feeling of such a pulsating rhythm like the land was breathing with some kind of sound that you could hear but not hear. Like a pulsating heat mirage that you can see but not see. The physical heat seemed to pulsate in time with it all giving the impression that the mystical silent sound was within and without passing through your body. Maybe the strong heat pulses against the hairs in the inner ear making almost inaudible sound. That sound was like a faint deep long held pulsing note of a didgeridoo along with a faint high whine of the same instrument. I had never heard a didgeridoo until 14 yrs old and connected the two sounds. I have wondered if the first peoples took on this natural mysterious sound of those regions into their first music or if the wood was just imbued with the tonings of the regional nature that grew it.

[@RumbleFish69]

Such a great instrument. When I was growing up in the Bronx, in New York, mid to late '70s, hip hop was just starting to get attention and notoriety. There was a group of rappers who used this instrument in their performances. Specifically, they had a guy off to side playing this instrument while a live drummer provided a funky, James Brown type of drum beat. You have no idea how amazing this instruments sounds when it accompanies an a amazing drummer! This group never failed to entertain, but I am not sure why this group, or their original use for this instrument, never quite took off.

10 Years later and this guy is still solving my problems lol. Cheers David Hudson!

Started learning after I came back from a recent trip and this was a great aid. I play about a hour a day. The recycle breathing was the hardest part. Best way I learned was playing along....like a pro.... To whatever was on the radio. Popping twangs here and there and the constant playing helped me figure out the recycle breathing. Cheers

One of the best Teachers

I live in Texas, and I have loved the sound of the didgeridoo ever since I heard it in world music. This is one of the most fascinating videos I’ve ever heard. It’s just wonderful. Thank you.

[@johngeorge9865]

I have listened to the DD for years now I know how it’s played brilliant teacher

[@OriginaleatingPaleo]

Amazing video. Very informative. David Hudson is an incredibly talented and helpful person to help others learn this rare instrument.

[@maarkaus48]

I never realized this before, until I watched this guy, but its an instrument with both singing and playing at the same time. Its vocal and instrumental. So interesting.

This video and the straw technique for continuous breathing tremendously helped me on the journey to meditate in the dream time via didgeridoo. Keep the rhythm pumping! Thanks

[@Sionnach1601]

Excellent demonstration. Taking the digdge back and forth from your mouth makes it so clear now. You do this in a grand sensible way, no bs just down to earth quick easy common sense, but you don't miss the important nuances either. Great demonstrator. Also I never knew the significance of the different punctuating sounds like the twangs and calls. Thanks to you i do now, and you've explained their use and relevance, again very well. Not many people put in such effort to their instructional videos as this, but you do it so quickly and understandably. God bless you :)

Completely amazing. I now feel I have an understanding for a new type of music and instrument. The ties-in to animals is SO moving, and SO beautiful in its sounds. WHAT music!!

[@francisfischer7620]

What a wonderful comment!

[@desmozGenes]

I love this instrument! Thanks for posting this video, really enjoyed it!

[@gasser5001]

Glad this is recorded on video and digitized. Very talented.

[@robertlyndon9510]

Brilliant educator, this bloke is an unrecognised talent for Australia and the beauty of the aboriginal cultural music.

[@tonysinigur]

I watch one vid of this dood throat singing and now this in my recommendations

[@lisadaniels9688]

I recently became overwhelmed by the yearning to play this instrument. Maybe because it will open my throat chakra which will enhance my crown chakra. The vibration is amazing. So with that I thank you for showing me how to practice. I am going the buy one.

[@Enolu]

That's amazing! So generous of him to share all this!

[@catherinebrady2640]

This is amazingly wonderful. He is so talented and explains the method and construction so clearly. Obviously it is something that takes dedicated practice over time.

[@eamonahern7495]

Me in Feb 2020: watches videos of UFC and ZZ Top. KZbin algorithm: recommends video about how to play a didgeridoo

[@kdthehun]

2019, KZbin recommends it.

[@francisfischer7620]

Wow! I trained voices for 40 years. I really never considered that someone could create such a magnificent array of sounds with the voice alone!! Truly stunning!! A revelation!!

[@dekotahrunninghorse9372]

Incredible, this is the best video i have ever seen on how to play this beautiful and ancient instrument. Thank you for sharing.

[@saxfish]

< Man, *circular breathing* is no easy task. I can do it with a straw and a glass of whiskey, when I fail and get frustrated I just drink the liquid and don´t give a hoot!>

[@GoldenEagle_Matariki_Kaleolani]

Great video I just plain love the rich earthy meditative sound of this traditional instrument, and David is very handsome too ;-) ;-)

[@susanporter2456]

He is amazing! Would love to see him live! 👍❤️

[@chuckbaird7748]

I have loved the sound of the didgeridoo for as long as I can remember and hearing about how the instrument is used to imitate natural native fauna is fascinating. Great teaching as well. This is what I love about the internet. And ancient cultures. Wonderful
