its hard to play the trumpet note with the cheeks closed. I always play it when open cheeks.

Is this man an Australian Aborigine/Australoid?

[Throatsinger]

Very interesting that he is overtone singing when demonstrating the drone, such as beginning around "40.

Of course this is quite sensible as he is vocalizing with his tongue in a position that will produce this effect with either voice or didg.

Guan, is this common, unusual, or ? Do players talk about this?

[ididjaustralia]

@Throatsinger oh ok, i understand now, for a second i woz a bit confused. wot vernon is doing is playing with retroflexed tongued at 40 seconds, the overtone singing is only a side effect of demonstrating this and doesn't actually come thru when playing the yidaki using the retroflex tongue as u can hear

[IPlayDidgeridoo]

When I hear didge playing like this I really understand why I praticting 1 hour every day - I love the instrumet, and it is just so great a motivation to hear something like this - i'm just so dedicated to this instrument - this is some of the best and most balanced playing I ever heard. Man I love it.

i got some stuff but its hard to understand some bitsss

[ididjaustralia]

@dumadave10 he's basically talking about technique and how the tongue moves, and also cues for playing certain riffs... follow the clapstick beat and listen to the singers and dancers make certain sounds, that is the cue for changing tune.
