Playing Didgeridoo with Eggshakers

Posted by Didgeridoo Breath Wednesday, January 18, 2012 | 1 Comment

Check out this lesson from the premium members are at Didgeridoo Dojo – here Sanshi demonstrates how to work eggshakers into your didgeridoo playing.

Lesson goals

  • Get comfortable with shaking the egg shaker to keep an even rhythm
  • Be able to accent the main beat in the egg shaker sound
  • Play the didgeridoo rhythm “dida (B) dida (B)” while keeping the rhythm on your shaker

Training tips

  • This is a new co-ordination so it’s ok if it feels very difficult to begin with
  • Be sure to practice just with the shaker to get comfortable before adding your didgeridoo playing
  • Keep your arm really relaxed to make shaking easier and feel more comfortable
  • Experiment with the speed of the playing & shaking to find what speed feels to easiest to practice
  • Try and lock into the accented beat. Focus matching up your didgeridoo timing with the main beats

Robert Dann

We were totally stoked to have didgeridoo player Robert Dann drop by the store last week after getting back from Europe where he attended world youth day events in Portugal, Spain & France.

Robert is an accomplished didge player and has been in a handful of movies and TV shows including the movie Bran Nue Dae. He has even performed for the Pope three times!

Check out the video below where he gives us a quick round up of his trip and plays a couple of quick tunes on the didge.

His album Wangal is awesome too – click here to listen to a sample.

About Circular Breathing

Circular breathing is undoubtedly the most sought after didgeridoo technique. It’s what every beginner didgeridoo player wants to be able to do… NOW!

Some people think it is a mystical technique that you can be blessed with, others think that it is something that naturally comes after you have been playing for a long time. Neither of these are true.

The fact is, circular breathing is a series of simple physical actions that anyone can learn.
In these lessons, we break the circular breathing down into small steps. Be sure to practice each step until it’s easy, then move onto the next. This is the fastest way to learn the circular breathing technique.

It might take an hour to get it… a day… or even a month. If you persist and follow our steps, you WILL be circular breathing!
