Thanks a million for pointing me to this video during the Kila Live - US Show tonight, Ronan. Hope to see you all play live in person once this COVID-19 madness passes.

I especially like the Bodhran he has chosen for the instruction. It is my observation that players dwell far too much on what kind/quality of drum one has, versus the enjoyment of improved technique. Compared to other frame drum/hand drum histories, the Irish oats were dumped out of the Bodhran basket & thumped with a stick off the ground..... yesterday. Thanks for the straight forward instruction.

A lovely well played McNeela!

Ok that was great! soothing, and made me smile! I will be adding this to my warm up list and the list of videos I have to relieve the stress of the moment! Love it!!

[@JF-kv1gm]

OMG.. This is totally beyond me... but I'm going to persevere!!

[@inkhole]

Got the bodhran, got the whipper tipper, jut one HUGE thing missing.......the skills. I used to play drum kits; who'd a thought this would be so hard. Time to practice - in search of the bounce. Great vid.

[@TheMurrier]

A true master of his instrument.

A smiling genius

[@Predo1064]

Brilliant, thanks for that Ronan really helps

[@thegiantyeti1367]

Brilliant Video Ronan I've been looking for a video from you doing this for years. I could never master the long tipper being held in your fingertips but now I have this to go on its time to get back practising. I saw you play this with crazy accents on it live in a pub as part of a festival near Oldcastle years ago and I've been trying to figure it out ever since how you were getting that many hits in that short a time. Is there a particular style tipper you would use or could you do it with any long straight one just as easy?

[@watermirrorvirtualbodhranp1736]

I definitely want to see your performance up close in Japan.

[@markkavanagh4457]

[@susanharris8145]

Please can you do video of the Bodrhan part in Seo Ma Leaba which is my favourite tune to accompany on the drum. Great video by the way.

[@raymonddunne7153]

This dude shows you how to play the bodhran. I don't know I'm a yank and a beginner.

[@IrelandBelongsToTheIrish]

Ronan, is breá liom do stíl ag imirt an bodhrán, go raibh maith agat

[@migzeemoo]

that was sick.

[@AmericanMysticDegenerate]

Look at that beat up drum and that absolute legend. They say originally in marital arts, you didnt change belts. You started as a white belt and practiced so hard that your belt got dirty and turned black over time. And by the time you were a true master, it was just a scraggly piece of shit. That drum looks like the equivolent of an og black belt
