    learned the bodhran 1 month ago

    i bought a nice bodhran and started going to an irish session every monday night along with several other musicians including other bodhran players. im still learning but i now am able to play along with them and they keep saying im good at it.



    The bodhran 4 months ago

    What is it? It’s the round drum that provides the running thrumthrum beat in the background (or foreground) or traditional Irish music. It’s goatskin stretched on a wooden frame with a T cross bar, played with a little double ended wooden stick. It’s wonderful :)

    I bought a bodhran at the beginning of the 2007 season of the PA RenFaire. And by the end of the season I mostly taught myself! It was slow going in the beginning and I thought I’d never be able to pick it up, but then it just clicked! Now, just to practice and get better! =D

    This is something that dh and I both want to learn. He bought a bodhran for me for my birthday. His got put on backorder because he wants one with a synth head. Now… just like some of my other things… I have to make the time to learn.

    It just sits in the corner looking sad 1 year ago

    I bought a bodhran in January off of eBay, and I have yet to learn how to play it. I actually bought it because an attractive guy that was playing in the Irish band that I was dancing for said that I had the arm muscles to play (but if he told me to shave my head because I had the head to do it, I probably wouldn’t have done it). My mum thinks that a young, attractive girl such as myself who does Irish dancing as well as plays the bodhran could get quite a crowd. Yes, well… gotta learn to play it first.

    I can’t find anywhere where I can learn it! I’m having to struggle using a book and printouts.
    Where’s the bodhranworld forum? I went on the site and can’t find it



    Sessions 1 year ago

    After my quintet rehearsal this past week, I was invited to bring my bodhrán over to my friend’s house, where she played fiddle I worked on drumming.

    Tomorrow I’m going to a different friend’s house to play music. I’m well on my way to becoming a real bodhrán player!



    Just Ordered 1 year ago

    So I’ve been wanting to do this for months. I just ordered a cheaper bodhran online. Now I’ll just have to figure out how to actually play….
