A Popular Didgeridoo Rhythm and How To Play It

Free download: World Rhythms for Didgeridoo (45-minute class): In this video for intermediate to advanced level didgeridoo players, we share one of the most popular didgeridoo rhythms found in music all around the world. I use this rhythm in my playing more than almost any other because it flows so naturally on the didgeridoo, djembe, guitar, piano and any other instrument I can get my hands on. Known as the Caribbean Clave, Tresillo, Malfuf and many other names, this bell pattern is essential to Afro-cuban, Afro-Brazilian and Latin music. Originally brought to the Americas by African slaves, this rhythm is found in most traditional African music and most Latin-American styles. This rhythm is fantastic for collaborating with other musicians as well as jamming on your own.
