Each one has a totally unique sound yet they all share some common qualities. Some of these drums sustain longer than others and some have a richer overtone profile. Weight, size, and aesthetics are also major differences. Watch and hear the difference!

After working with countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple instruments and that we have the community resources to help all musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons, classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and instruments from all around the world.
