unbelievable

Great playing Jacob. Love the tune too. Top end of the drum sounds amazing but felt it needed a contrast of a lower tone in the drum. But that's just me and my love of low end bodhrán tones. Merry Christmas.

Really well mic'ed.

beautiful - headphones required to get that wonderful bodhran sound!

Thank you for playing nice bodhran. I loved your "base-like beats". I'm rooting for you from Japan.

By god, if that isn't the best Bodhrán playing I've ever heard, I don't know what is

Superb playing, Jacob!

That was just amazing!! Love that ending!!

Klasse. Wer kann mir ein zwei Tipps geben, wie man so schnelle "single end Rolls" (schreibt man das so?)spielt. ich verzweifle langsam und glaube meine Hände sind nur zum Holz hacken gut. 😁

That's some great shyt man.loved it

Love it! Well done!

What mic are you using? Is the bodhran you're playing from Christian H? Great sound and dynamic!

❤

groove skills , ya put the funk on it !

What inch size is this bodhrán?

Nice one Jacob! Hope you had fun.

Mad skills!

Jaw-dropping!

Wow, what are those insane rolls you are doing? Never cease to amaze. Sounds great Jacob!!

Maestro ....................this is a masterpiece of technique and its all here

I like your vids!! 😁 You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Have you checked PromoSM!? Lot’s of channels are using it to promote their videos!

You stand out as an individual performer.👏👏

Simple and efficient! Love it! I can’t figure out how you vary the patterns to add all the tune accents though ^^

Great tune and musicality on the drum

Cool name

That's gonna be me someday. It's definitely harder than I thought it would be but I'm gonna get it!

Just wonderful! Looking forward to performing with you Jacob!

Terrific stuff, Jacob.

Nice! I love the wide voice range that has. How much was that little gem?

Gorgeous drum and solo!

@chade2112 KZbin is not allowing me to respond to your comment for some reason so here is my response: It is 13" diameter and 12" deep. There have been other deep drums made, but none such as this featuring a more open design and a sound hole, which greatly improves the clarity of sound. As of this point it is just one-off drum, but there is a possibility for more research and testing to be done it. With advancements in skin technology (Twin-Skin) there are new possibilities for it as well.

What's the width/depth on the drum? It looks and sounds fantastic!

Great one!

Smiles are for the weak! Haha...Pure concentration for the win!

Great tunes, would it kill your fiddler to smile once in a while?

Thanks very much. Moving around in different time signatures is always good fun!

Brilliant bodhran playing. And gotta love an Irish tune that goes in and out of 7/8. Good stuff.

Thanks very much and glad to hear that you have been inspired to learn the Bodhran!

@mrbodhranhead Thanks! You're right, Christian's work is superb. He never ceases to amaze me with his continuing innovation and constant top quality. Congrats on ordering a second drum from him! The new tuning system is great, and the Spicy skin will compliment that perfectly. Christian and I have some new projects on the go as well so keep an eye out for some new designs and some promo videos to go along with them. Thanks for your kind words about my playing as well!

Lovely drum, Jacob. As usual, Christian's work is superb. He just sent me some pictures of my new drum (my 2nd from him). I also went with the new tuning system and the DragonSkin spicy. I elected just the regular depth, though. I can see the advantages of the deep drum -- it's just a bit much for me. I'll be posting video when I get my new one. Thanks, and BTW your top end technique is fab.

@kishanabear You're very welcome! I haven't had a lot of experience with double skins, as they aren't really suited to my playing. But the "beefy" sound (which I would describe as a full, well rounded but not overpowering) is not just the result of the skin, but also the frame, and the mic being used. I use a large diaphragm condenser, and with the design of the frame, the achieved sound is full, ranging from deep lows, to crisp highs, but no over-powering bass. All in all a great sound!

beautiful. this sounds a lot like a brenndan double skin. thick, beefy sound w/ great attack! thank you for posting.

@Copterdl Thanks very much! In terms of the Goatskin vs the Calfskin. In my experience it usually depends a lot on the skin itself (thick or thin, trasparent etc). Some skins can have more or less attack or live sound than others no matter which animal it is from. I have only played a few calfskin Bodhrans so I cannot fully comment as to if a calfskin is generally more live sounding. But I can say that the DragonskinSpicy has the most attack and full live sound that I have ever played.

Your techniques are superb! Question, I understand the dragonskin is made from a goat skin, does the goatskin have as live a sound as a calfskin timpini head? Some of the newer transparent heads are great. I have heard Lucy Randall play a Christian Hedwitschak bodhran and it sounds great, but I am wondering if it is as loud as a transparent calfskin like a alfonso drum? The reason I am asking is because I am considering purchasing one of these drums and currently play Alfonso's drum.

@DoryDL06708 Thanks!
