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
