First Experience with a Didj

Anonymous from USA

Interesting

Alex Martinez from Spain

I think that its sound isn't from the human side of the world. It's more mystic. It's like the wind, or the earth... I don't know... It's natural

Anonymous from USA

Weird but cool Aborigine tool

Anonymous from USA

Awesome vibrations

It had a very unique sound, made me think of a place like Africa or Australia

It sounds great and I was begging my dad to buy me one but he wouldn't because we are poor and they cost us too much

Bob Rudy from USA

I was euphoric. Couldn't get enough.

Bradley Keegan from USA

Euphoric. It surrounded my body and mind in way that the drum could not match for me. Being a djembe player since I was 14 that is a big thing to me.

Brett Dackiewicz from Australia

Soulful ... I love the complex rhythms and sounds the didj creates... makes me want to dance !

Brett Lamarche from USA

It sounds amazing

The sound is unique

When I first heard a didg close up being played well, I had just been holidaying on Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. At that time, I had experienced a kind of profound connection with the earth which made me relate deeply to the kind of feelings Aboriginal people must have felt towards that same land, long ago when they were still living traditionally in that particular region. The sound of the didgeridoo seemed to completely encompass those feelings and just came out at me as being an incredibly powerful sound that I could relate to in a spiritual way- I decided then and there that I had to learn!

Dale Sicily from Australia

Thought it was the most awesome sound that I have ever heard

David Acuff from USA

Wow

David Carmichael from USA

What a wonderful way to express the spiritual connection between indigenous peoples and the elements of nature around them; it resonates through the whole body and evokes a sense of belonging to the place around us.

Thought the sound was amazing,real sound of the australian outback.made me feel I had to get and learn to play a didji.

Jayme Allen from USA

Like nothing I had heard before I knew that one day I had to learn to play.

Jeff Fullmer from USA

Upon first hearing diji I was immediately taken with the urge to find out what instrument made that sound. The sound of the diji seemed to re-introduce me to my roots. It was a sound that brought back memories from my childhood along with forgotten senses, such as the smell of mud when your playing in it and the care free outlook simply of going outside to play. Today the sound of a diji makes me stop and take a breath and study the sky or notice the ground, how a garden is set up or how the grass or weeds grow. It bring out the artistic quality of nature.

Jeff Meyer from USA

What an awesome sound it made, and it looked like fun to play

Jeff Phillips from USA

I was mesmerized & then eventually bought one of my own.

Jenny Hebert from USA

I had always wanted my own didj, and one day while walking around the local shopping centre,I just heard this droning coming out of this one shop and I saw this guy playing didj, and I just thought to myself, 'I want one'

Odd sound but ok...

Anonymous from USA

Interesting and unusual.

Kenneth Shapley from United Kingdom

I first heard a man called Gary Thomas playing at a friends in Brighton. My heard flew open and I just knew this was the instrument for me.What was it like? "Wombingness and boomingness and the time curlings of a dream, ancestral voices speaking within." I went straight down the woods and made me a split Didge and asked him for lessons. Since then I have made 40 or so Didges, owned 5 Aboriginal Didges which I have given away to others who love the instrument.

Kevin Cooke from USA

It touched me in a very basic way. It was a feeling of the earth, of time unknown and of ancient knowledge.

Kyle Hatanaka from USA

It was a divine work of art

Leo Dobbelaere from Belgium

A sacral instrument

Logan Marshall from Canada

I saw a guy playing one in British Colombia, I was really young, I just thought it was super cool, But then my buddy started playing about 2 years ago and I found the great spiritual and energetic powers it held so I decided to start playing myself.
