Available in a variety of diameters, these djembes produce a remarkably wide range of tone from booming lows to cutting highs.

Lightweight construction makes this djembe an ideal travel companion. An easy-to-use mechanical tuning system is anchored by heavy-duty hardware to ensure a consistent and reliable sound. Equally at home on stage or in a studio, the Jumbo Djembe is also perfectly suited for use in houses of worship and classroom settings.

Lip stretching is the fundamental warm-up for didgeridoo playing and it’s all about preparation. So before you touch the didge, before you buzz your lips, do these lip stretches. Also if someone comes to me and says they don’t know how to do didgeridoo lip buzzing, or they can’t even buzz their lips, I show them these lip stretches.
This video is an excerpt from our Live Didgeridoo Q&A on YouTube (replay here) that happened on Jan. 2, 2022.

Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events,
instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use
music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you.
On
our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better
musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and
reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries
merging through the medium of sound.
When
we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the
didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and
also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. 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. Visit us for great music
resources at didgeproject.com. |
