So you want to play the BODHRAN!

[SoulFyre777]

Hello all!
Just a quick note to let you all know I've found a WONDERFUL site for learning the bodhran! Bodhran Expert These are a collection of videos taught by a Miss Michelle Stewert who is a wonderful player and has taught well over a thousand drummers to play the bodhran through her workshops and private tutoring in Scotland. She and her husband are also the owners of Cape Breton Bodhrans. Check this site out! I promise you'll get more info than just "Hold the tipper like a pen..." lol

Thanks SoulFyre,

I have one and never had the time to sit down and learn it.

Maybe these videos will help out?

There's an old Irish saying: 'Tis a gentleman who knows how to play the bodhran...and doesn't.

SoulFyre,

Thanks for sharing the site. I built my own drum a while ago, and am anxious to learn how to play it! I checked out the site and it looks to be a good one.

Cheers,

I was just at some Games, and somebody asked me if the bodhran was primarily Irish, or used by the Scots as well.

I didn't know.
