I toss and turn every night thinking about it!

I'm really starting to think if I could create some low droney patchouli spaceweed jams I'd be complete!

Digeridoo is awesome. If you're an Aborigine.

But still. They're practically free, so get one. Once you figure it out. keep going, or move on, whatever.

If you can do it right it can actually sound good in the context of actual good music.

So yeah, man, get one. Unless you have to pay through the ass for one, Because otherwise you may as well just blow into the end of a bit of PVC piping, cause its the same bloody thing in the end. Just doesnt look as cool.

incredible.


what i think is no you shouldn't because it'll be fun at first but then you'll be looking in the mirror one day and you'll see it in the background and you'll say to yourself "why did i buy a friggiing digeryhoweverthefuckyouspell it?"

but that's just me.

If he played it properly, you probably would've 'got it'.

They sound great when played properly, but it takes some effort to get to that level, and you'll have to put up with it sounding crap until then

And apparently, they go really well with classical music. There was a story in the national papers a couple of weeks ago about a guy who was tenured with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra or sth like that who had actually had pieces written with a didgeridoo as the lead instrument. I'd be interested to hear how that sounded

I saw them play. It was okay. Not that interesting.
