[OceanOfOilFilms]

This is like listening to a tribal version of Meshuggah.

[jonnyhatter35]

this guy's got awesome didge power. That huge didge is def for the advanced player

[balandaboy]

[johnscottartist]

larry is possibly the best yirdaki player I've ever heard, that song from 6:30 onward is amazing, just amazing.

[johnscottartist]

that's the longest yirdaki I've ever seen! I bet it reaches all the way to the stars...

[91Tribual]

judging by the environment,youre in the middle of the nature..how peacefull

[blazerx900]

3:40 sounds like a siren.

[acidfriend47]

OMG those rhythms are soo hard. I can't get them arrrgg

[ididjaustralia]

@acidfriend47 try the iDIDJ Forum, google us, or find me on facebook

[SoulBeat123]

First time I've ever replayed a didge clip more than twice! .. There IS some kind of magic going on here ... Larry and Didge! haha Love the rhythm .. kinda trance-like .. Thanks for sharing:) 

[horrormonger]

Larry?

[mbabitt]

He is hot.

[megaapples101]

YEWWWWWWWWWWW..This is choice i luv it =)

[panmikos]

Now that's one big vuvuzela. :)

[yummieyummie123]

I like this song... I noticed he doesn't puff his cheeks out like some other people do to hold longer notes. This has a melody structure that's closer to what I'm used to (western music). I can find a beat in this one. :) But I appreciate the other styles as well. Thanks for sharing.

[Anjin42]

Djalu sticks still rule; massive frequency range, banging bass tuned to perfection. Want one!

[ekblompower]

Its like an acustic 3x Osc :P

[caz508]

really some impressive stuff!!! I just started playing in Oct 2010. this is Definitely Inspiring and makes me want to keep playing and keep learning.

Thnak you

[Xboxstafarian]

[neilandfi]

That's a powerful sound. My respect to you

[slinky211]

its sounds like one of those street assholes with the over large mufflers

[Bluestar460]

Lol Im Pakistani And When i was Searching For Australia I found out about this didgeridoo i first was puzzled weird name and weird sound later on i was fascinated how do they play it

[barakwititj]

Awesome sound and technique.Larry i love your style (and yomunu's). I,ve watched this clip many times and it always makes feel charged. Thanks.

[barakwititj]

Awesome sound and technique.Larry i love your style (and yomunu's). This clip always makes feel charged. Thanks.

[Tsugimoto1]

I want to see these guys apply their skills to a brass instrument... because I guarantee you that they'd be able to make it sound awesome...

[Butterflycradle1]

This vid is mad tuff

[mbedsor]

I had the amazing privelage to be taught to play by a man from a local community near where I live. I know how hard it is to even attempt to play a didg. My hat goes off to Larry, he is an incredible player!

[treyguy09]

sounds like some clippers

[Vince77F]

Yolngu hard tongue style always makes me feel good ! Powerful, raw and so groovy, this technic is really impressive even for non aboriginal-people. Thanks Djalu for shaping, Larry for playing and ididj for sharing !

[ididjaustralia]

@Vince77F thanx buddy 4 ur koment, makes me feel happy that you appreciate this sort of music, too kool!!!! :-) take care budda

[homidontpl8]

Real question...how is his shape-up so damn crispy?

[ididjaustralia]

@homidontpl8 wat do you mean shape-up and crispy?

[Butterflycradle1]

@ididjaustralia Basically he's asking, how did he get such a nice haircut?

[ididjaustralia]

@Butterflycradle1 ohk hahaha :-)

[acidfriend47]

@Butterflycradle1 lol its because they have the finest barbers in the village.

[acidfriend47]

@ididjaustralia lol maybe because they have the best barbers in the village XD

[klosz81]

this guy is really amazing.... nice work bro

[HeroinForever]

the fuck is that snapping noise? And if it is like a metronome, HOW is it like a metronome?

Also, I just saw a fuckin' Dingo! It just ran off with that little pregnant childs other baby!

[theHRproductions]

How come they don't vocalize with yidaki?

[ididjaustralia]

@theHRproductions they do!

[TheUnicorn13]

@boxchamp4114 that is the typical commentary of a youtuber with nothing own uploaded in his profile.

Your kind can just spread sick thougts.

You hoax champ!

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

great sound

[DaDjaq]

[AtomicNerd001]

let me know when this is actually able to make music ;)

[rapidbf]

My Brothers, My Country, My sound..... awesome editing and beat, Proud to call myself an Australian,, well done guys.

[CHKNSFKN]

also i was wondering is he just freestyling or is he playing note for note from music he or someone else has written?

[ididjaustralia]

@CHKNSFKN it isn't freestyle and it isn't written down either, it is memorised by heart and passed down by generations before him.

[CHKNSFKN]

@ididjaustralia amazing, makes me like it even more.... if thats possible

[CHKNSFKN]

think iv watched this fella 6 or 7 times in the last 2 days him and that didge sounds unreal, could u buy a didge like this? cause i want one :D

[kanserstyx]

TECHNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pyromanizak]

@thegreenplague

Just fill it up with tobbaco then you'll be good.

[europeer]

Hello from Norway.

This is magical. I close my eyes and see the world as it might have been before we started destroying it...Dreamtime I think you would call it? I am trying to learn about aborigin kosmologi.Its fascinating. Thanks for sharing. if some of you are aboriginals and would like to teach us about your culture, please find me on facebook.

Marina J K Saetre

Best regards

from Norway

[SILENTIMACT74]

I know this is kinda weird but I played the Tuba, and was wondering; is there any comparisson with the breathing styles.

[EricChernushenko]

@SILENTIMACT74 very slightly, although when playing tuba you clench your cheeks and lips, here you relax them

[MrGforce6969]

yirdaki is the aboriginal term for a didge i believe :)

[91Tribual]

really awesome and interesting. makes me feel like going back to the ancient way of living without society

[amsterdamob]

Does anyone know any good sources where I could learn some of the more advanced rhythms that don't involve tonguing (i.e. cheek/jaw/pallet, etc. wobble)?

[BuschTukkerMan]

hey hello this really sound awsome man keep up the great work :)

[nungu99]

Machine! this puts goosebumps on top of the goosebumps.

[Brads4e]

How can I make the sound at 00:04s? Like a truck's break, it´s a nice sound

[ididjaustralia]

@Brads4e That's the overtone note, played with tight lips.

[selfatrophy]

Incredible... The rhythmic rolling is so powerful

[QuanYin71]

can you explain to me the difference between didge and yirdaki ?

or isnt there any at all ??

just confused and willing to learn something :)

Cheers

[ididjaustralia]

@QuanYin71 check out the ididj forum!

[numerator77]

@QuanYin71 theres no difference a yirdaki is just another word for didgeridoo

[surferpeteinspace]

Amazing!

[albertilius]

actually, the didge is considered a percussion instrument. weird!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Most wind instruments have one or several resonant frequencies and it seems that the didgeridoo is that way. I once owned a GTO whose exhaust system resonated the best at a steady 75 miles per hour. lol

[wutangclaninthefront]

This may make me sound like a pothead, but the way I learned to play the didj was to take a huge toke of herb, and sit there for an hour and blow on the didj, without taking your mouth off. the trick is to really loosen your lips and once you get the sound, move your tounge around your mouth and that changes the sound. if you dont have a didj, you can look up how to make one out of PVC pipe and it wont cost more than a couple bucks.

[xXTruPinayXx]

I learned how to play one at school using a PVC pipe and we just had to buzz our lips like you're doing a raspberry, only your lips are inside the pipe. You also have to sand the top of the pipe so it doesn't cut your lips.

[clonedheat]

Hello peoples, Hey you know I have heard many didgeridoo....but for some reason this yirdaki sounds different. I keep thinking about the dreamtime when I listen to this and I think that is strange because I am a wodjila (white man) God work by Djalu and Wuduku 5 stars.

[rastajuanje]

malecxandre you are very stupid, didge is universe vibration played by humans, pachamama energy

[pigeonflipper]

everyone should read the stuff on the right of this page,, support these guys,,as we know there is good and bad in every race,,a little patience and respect will get you a long way,, respect,

[muzzajg]

deadly bruzz !!

[modshaman]

O My!!!!!!!! The Great Spirit above ! That is TRULY.......a Sacred DIDGE.........The sound is from the stars .......Peace and Thank you.

[kleskou]

All humans are "aboriginals". The fact that we all live in cities today means that we came from other places that we do not know.

That word is sometimes used to differentiate between people, and people forget we share a planet. Like parasites we live in a host called Earth.

[daveharpe]

@kleskou I wish we could be participants instead of parasites. Some day we will learn, I hope.

[divinelightbody]

what you saying unfortunately for huh?

being racist are ya?

dont discriminate, its not nice, how would you feel if sumone said that your race was unfortunately human?

[muzzajg]

Deadly Bruss !!

[Grogan1988]

did u know? "kangaroo" in aboriginal language means "i dont know" LOL, awesome player!!

[brad095]

in aboriginal language lol there isnt a language lol. theres hundreds

[dervishmadwhirler]

It actually DOES mean "I dont understand!" When the English invaders came there they asked the poeple in English waht this instrument was called and the aborigine person who answered said "I dont understand" but the brit thought it was the name of the animal! I dont know in which aboriginal language it was.

[Grogan1988]

thats what i just said! i dont wanna argue, i was making (in my eyes) a nice comment

[StephenGA1982]

What an awesome instrument! simple is always better.

[etiennealive]

He's great isn't he !

[jostaley]

There is something very special about that yirdaki. Its sound is amazing!

[designinsight]

Frggin awesome. The longer he plays, the more hypnotic it comes.

[KuragariNoKaze]

I want to know where I could buy one that isn't a cheap knock-off... and I don't want to be paying some greedy jerk who's just trying to take advantage of someone else's hard work... my sister's got one but I dunno how authentic it is... I don't really know how to do the circular breathing but when I play on hers I can at least get the sound I want from it and I enjoy it... love hearing it played no matter what...

[justCliff1]

From what i understand..... a REAL didge is a national treasure of Australia, and it is against the law to try to get one out of the country.... The REAL ones are the holowed out roots of a tree. Hollowed out by TERMITES......... Thats what i understand,,,,,, but i am a YANK, so wat do i know?? LOL

[lyndallbaxter]

Not alot, you can buy them here in Aus as suveneers, they cost between, 300 and 1200 australian. They are not hollowed by termites. They are made.

You can take as many out of the country as you like, though a wonderful instument, they also support the artist ab cultures because tourists want them so bad, though if you do, buy carved, not painted as you may need to have ittreated with gamma ratiation when u arrive in ur home country

[Snabbelkrab]

Yeah you can probably take as many as you like as as souvenir, but how are u gonna get the things on an public aeroplane?

[MRKRONALD]

i the aboriginal culture wimen were forbiden to play the didgeridoo and were punished normaly by death. It was believed to be verry bad luck (even cursed the family) if a woman played it...

[slooash]

why?

[MRKRONALD]

because thats is there version of religion.

and thats what they believe. why do u believe in things?

[slooash]

that was not an intelligent answer.

[j666coras]

wh don't you look in the inteligent's book Answers. You may get the answer that you looking for. I f you wanna know more about it, goo and find the answer your self, so you can contribute.

peace

[dvdsmlprstylr]

I've noticed that the playing end is smaller than most didgeridoos, I think thats how they do the circulatory breathing.

(my lips automatically tighten when I try it)

[83didier]

the end (or beginning) of the didge is not THE important fact for circular breathing!! you just need to learn the good method. It is simple and easy to learn. Just in the beginning you can't play for long time, you need to make progression in playing time.

good luck!

[dvdsmlprstylr]

I can do the circulatory breathing without the didge, but when I play it, my lips tighten as though I'm playing the trumpet.

That's why I thought that making the mouth piece smaller would be better.

[RATTER15]

Try getting your lips around the other end lol, that's why one end is smaller. The size has nothing to do with circular breathing, the technique is actually very simple but not so simple is putting it into practice, the more you think about what you are doing the harder it is. It just takes loads of practice.

[cityhunterfan]

dvdsmlprstylr - The size of the mouth opening does not effect the circular breathing, but it may make it easier to maintain the seal. Large openings of 2 inches or more is harder for me. I adjust my wax for a 1.5 in opening.

Relax your lips more and experiment with the wax. There's no one set method. Whatever works for you is what works.

Peace and happy didjing!

[dvdsmlprstylr]

Thanks for the advice, but since I posted these comments, I have been able to perfect my circular breathing.

Check out my vids!

[KARGON2]

i love playin th dije, larry an his family r th best, love from th south wales valleys, big bigtime X

[sau333]

any people not sure try playing one !

[duality022]

Kick ass! Love to have one.

[itsanthonyhere]

I know this isn't a space shuttle, but I don't exactly get how you carve these out..

[ididjaustralia]

Termites usually do the job, but if you want to manually carve out the inside, that can be done with drill bits, chisels etc. Some people split a solid log in half and then carve out the sound chamber before gluing back the 2 halves together.

[itsanthonyhere]

@ididjaustralia Wouldn't termites just eat through the whole thing? How did they have glue that long ago?

[ididjaustralia]

@itsanthonyhere if the tree was dead termites would eat the whole way thru but didges when they are cut are cut from live trees. the sap in the tree helps prevent the termites from eating the outer layers of the wood. what do you mean about glue?

[organist121893]

you don't. termites do and you go look for hollowed trees and eventually you'll find one that sounds good.

[MastaEss]

is that how they're formed? fascinating! I wana find me a hollowed out tree!

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

@itsanthonyhere hot coal from the fire & borrow it out mate. the more time you put into it the more you get out of it.. it's spiritual the sound of teh land........

[Mainiac97]

the ghosts of your ancestors are coming back to haunt you! =P

[DidgDog]

thats real traditional

5* dude didnt watch this video before..

somehow..

[deegu20]

That yirdaki is amazing. HUUUGE too

[ProudAussieSheila]

Great video, love listening to the didgeridoo. Expresses so much feeling.

[MrDownbeat]

awesome

[Pulse1027]

Very nice

These guys could learn a thing or two from him... watch?v=6NruhO8QApQ

[sacredthornapple]

THat is by far the most powerful yirdaki i have ever seen or heard. The energy is evident even through this recording. (O).(O)

[IdiotSpace]

amazing :)

[Julie47]

do i need a yirdaki to play like this....

[Jayate]

you will need more than a yirdaki to play just like that, but its a good start. Larry is one of the best yirdaki players in the world, and that is a very special yirdaki.

[kekeluv100]

Not sure.

[stewart73]

power man...power

[akoehler6]

amazing

[guyonfire87]

he got some skill

[windwakr1]

Amazing

[partyladygirl]

how skilled are you playing the digde pretty talented bro

[bodyofthewind]

Nice Stick!

[headchew]

huh huh you said wiwi

[DragoonNoR]

Um ... uh huh huh, oh yeah! Uh huh huh, that was cool!

[mcrandown]

thank you for an absolutely stunning display of the stories the didge is designed to tell. excellent

[solidacro]

Was surfing youtube and had a sudden urge to be back home (I'm touring europe, america and canada the next 3 years working).. i had to shut my eyes and listen to the sounds of home. Thank you! -Coen-

[whiteplatypus]

im in love..larry and the didge..

[freakypurplebrain]

whats the name of the instrument?

it make lovely noise

[ididjaustralia]

didgeridoo

[kajihoreruaiseki]

alright he does this thing in the beginning - it sounds like he's playing a drone with overtones and then the drone almost drops out, and the overtone is super-amplified. at like 0:22. not the longhorn toot thing, don't answer with "your lips are tighter," but does anyone know how he is doing that?

[ididjaustralia]

That's a tongued accent at 0.22. In traditional playing, much of the rhythms comes from the use of the tongue to create accented beats. Hope that helps.

[209jay]

stunning.. just stunning! ive listened to this numerous times now and everytime im even more amazed. thisis one of my top 3 favorite yidaki vids on youtube! Larry is awesome and that yidaki is mezmerizing.

[OlraRehssu]

What a beauty!!

[quinoacat]

awesome tone with sweet projection. this is A+ stuff. 5/5 Stars.

[TanvirHassan]

Wow. Thats well cool.

[whiteplatypus]

wow ..thankyou very much for sharing yourself and your culture for all to see..the magic and power and connectedness of your people is seen in your eyes and heard in your playing..and honour to experience, i bow to your people in respect,thanks

[Djheron79]

hello ididjaustralia ¿is this kind of musicrelated whit the resonance?

there are many videos abou resonance in youtube.

Regards.

Agente 79.

[ididjaustralia]

I don't understand what you mean? Can you explain more?

[steve171274]

Thats two of us

[organist121893]

any tips on learning this style?

[Zambeezo]

How do you make that longhorn noise?

[ididjaustralia]

By making the lips tighter like playing the trumpet.

[Dilutedled]

Wow... I haven't seen the didg played like that before... Is there a certain technique to make it sound.. a longhorn?

[ididjaustralia]

This is typical technique used to play didgeridoo traditionally.

[Bassflicker]

Deadly!!!

[ctulhudawn]

very large didj
