You have nostrils. Learn to inhale and exhale at the same time. Become the master of your own body. Defy your limitations. You're playing the flute, goddammit! Give it the respect it deserves, and transcend beyond your mortal limitations and grasp the freedom of the ethereal.

As a drummer, is it possible to learn this magic?!

You...you can just do the normal method. You don't have to blow into your drums...

Maybe he wants to do the inflate snare blast. Link later

They're a drummer. Do you have any pictures you could show them?

Just letting you know this is what I mean by the inflate snare blast: https://youtu.be/YZn32ExoHWM?t=720

I'm blacking out just watching that...

it's fine, just do the circular breathing exercise, you wouldn't be doing any other streneous activity that would make you need extra oxygen or anything

The "exhale" from this technique is just air they stored in their cheeks, and not breathing in and out at the same time. Still impressive that they can do this with enough power/pressure to carry a tone though.

It turns your face into a bagpipe!

Lol I tried this for two breaths and already got a head rush. I'm not even trying to play an actual flute, just sustain pressure from my mouth while I inhale and then switch back to blowing from my lungs.

I wonder if master flutists get a kind of natural high any time they play at a high level that uses this technique and that's why they stuck with the flute long enough to master it.

Or hell, if dopamine for non-ADHD people gives good feelings from normal stuff, is that why anyone sticks with things long enough to master them? Just flute masters might get that extra head rush on top of it.
