Didgeridoo is mystical instrument of native people/shamans from Australia called “Aboriginal Australians”. Now you can convert any instrument (guitar, synthesizer etc.) into didgeridoo or let the didgeridoo play in rhythm of your tracks (this VST effect will play the same rhythm as your drums or percussions!!).

It’s often associated with 50’s sci-fi movies, furious aliens and creepy/spooky creatures and was also used by many artists, just to name a few :
Beach boys – Good Vibrations !
Portishead – Mysterons
Goldfrapp – Yes Sir
+ Radiohead, Led Zep, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Julien Dragoul and many more !
