not sure what to call it but a lot of players like eddie lockjaw davis for example often do this technique where they play two notes dooden tounged or ghost tounged and the second note comes out way brasher like an overtone, not sure if its a false fingering or just a way of attacking the note

this is a direct example of someone doing it. at the end of this 3 second clip they do the technique
does anyone know what this is called and how to do it?
 
not sure what to call it
You could call it alternative (or alternate) fingering, false fingering or double density.
where they play two notes dooden tounged or ghost tounged
No, note dooden or ghost (but can be combined and possibly is but very subtle)
not sure if its a false fingering or just a way of attacking the note
False fingering is as good as anything. But you almost got it right anyway:

way brasher like an overtone

 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
