  • If you want to understand the rhythm of a didgeridoo player, you first need to understand how he breathes.
    In this video, I explain a fairly simple rhythm by the famous Ash Dargan, whose entire composition is based on WA breathing.
    Ash Dargan is an Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo player who has made a name for himself with his precise, dynamic style and distinctive groove.

    I have used and adapted this rythme since we decorticated it at one of your workshops. I cannot play it as fast as Ash Dargan, but it is great to play.

    Super tutoriel.. Merci beaucoup. J'ai essayé de faire le même travail sur un morceau de Ash Dargan "kwa dance of the crow". J'ai du mal à saisir les articulations utiliséses. Si un jour tu fais un tutoriel sur ce morceau ça serait top.
    Merci encore

      Salut Raphaël, J'aime particulièrement le grain de son qu'il a sur ce morceau ! En revanche, pour l'analyser et surtout le jouer c'est de boulot. Car il utilise une attaque particulièrement marquée avec la gorge (de ce que je comprends en l'écoutant tout en te répondant) qui rends la reproduction délicate si on veut le faire sonner précisément comme lui.
      Mais je me le met dans ma liste de morceaux à analyser, ça pourrait être un chouette défi. J'adore vraiment son son. ^^

    I've been trying to figure out the phonetics of Ash Dargan to play in the last 6 months, but I haven't been able to. I really like his style, so it was a surprise when I saw your lesson with good details above. ✌ I like the way you explain where the dynamic should be. But I have a problem to overcome right now:
    If I do the first part with emphasizing the dynamics, unfortunately I run out of breath fast in circular breathing. I am thinking the cause is, maybe I don't have giant lungs to pump, as usually the aboriginal didgeridoo players having. 🤣 So the question is, how I should compensate to achieve the same dynamics playing? By the way, I am Bela the HU player if you remember. 😉

    • @WakademyDidgeridooSchool
      @WakademyDidgeridooSchool  4 місяці тому +1

      Hi Bela, of course I remember you ;-)
      So if you're not getting enough air, there could be 3 reasons:
      - you're not breathing on each WA (sometimes you think you're breathing in air but in fact you're not).
      - you're not pursing your lips enough and too much air is coming out (you need to think about the quality of your sound).
      - you accentuate each to (or touf) too much.
      Since I'm beginning to know a bit about your style, I'll go for the third solution! Maybe you can say to yourself that you don't have to blow harder on the TOs but just quieter on everything else.
      If you want, you can try playing this rhythm in your next video, it's a good exercise!

      ​@@junttivision7743 Yes the harmonics are great ont it. But not only that:
      - the attacks are very precise
      - the bass are in the perfect balance with the high frequencies, and so the drone is, for me, perfect.
