Day 1 of 5 Rhythms In 5 Days Bodhrán Challenge (Paradiddles)

[@RosemaryvanEssen]

🌟 Huh, learnt two new skills today, paradiddle and adding emojis to KZbin comments! Thanks for the lesson! (And thank you for discussing how to do the tap near the start; it was new info for me. Made it easier!)

[@vonromberg4825]

Ok, Mrs., challenge accepted! I've started right now. And startet messing already. But it's getting better fast!

[@kreigre01]

⭐️ . As always, thanks, Mickey. Needed that. Last words of encouragement (permission to be messy): exactly the message my brain needed. Have a great day.

[@bj.roberts6410]

Fun times. The adding of the feet that was the challenge lol fun

[@GoatWhacker2]

Awesome. Mind blowing since I don’t really play much any more.

[@ShandyWhitaker]

Great exercise, thanks Mickey 🌟

[@MyGibeaut]

Just appeared in my inbox... thank you so much! (Messy is my name!)

[@colleend3325]

Great thank you 🙏🏻

[@tjbonzo]

⭐ I've always loved how you start us slow and build up speed.

[@BodhranMasterclass]

So glad you liked it, TJ. First one to leave the Gold Star too! Thanks for watching all the way to the end. Drum on, my friend.

[@valerieturner3837]

I think I had blocked the paradiddle feet part when I initially went through the course material…it was more attainable this time. Don’t get me wrong…it was still a hot mess but also a lot of fun!

[@tinasturgeon7087]

Awesome, i learned how to play using 7 rhythm in 7 days, koved it,

[@BodhranMasterclass]

That's so great to hear, Tina. Thanks for coming back for more.

[@macnacailli]

[@RedPhoenixStorytells]

⭐🌟 Thank you, what metronome app would people suggest?

[@PeterBennett-l7u]

Excellent!

[@rweisburger]

Thank you Mickey! You have no idea what perfect timing this was!!! Looking forward to tomorrow! -robin

[@BodhranMasterclass]

Hi Robin, sorry I missed seeing all of you when I was in Belfast and you were just up the road. So glad the timing of this challenge is spot on. That's why my mum used to tease that I was part witch. haha. I have a spidey sense about these things. :)

[@rweisburger]

@@BodhranMasterclass So sorry we missed you!!! It would have been so awesome to catch up!!!

[@lindamyers3268]

thanks

[@BodhranMasterclass]

My pleasure, Linda. Seeing your name always puts a smile on my face and brings back fond memories of time together in Cape Breton.

[@judymurphy-davis7802]

⭐️how did I miss paradiddlediddle!😂

[@rossini138]

Awesome, thank you! Never occurred to me to even try this on a bodhran

[@BodhranMasterclass]

There is so much cool stuff to rob and duplicate from snare drumming and drum kit. For my own practice the other day I was practising hand/feet polyrhythms by playing syncopated drum kit bass parts with my foot over rock rhythms.

[@casperkasparov302]

Yes I do find playing the Bodhran a "challenge"

[@BodhranMasterclass]

Well, I hope my videos help, Casper. Thanks for being here.

[@kenlane663]

Thanks Boss. Question - the Up and Down strokes displayed at the bottom of screen is that available in a pdf format? Side note when I clicked on the "Freebies" link Bitdefender Total Security reports it as an online threat ... that the connection is relying on an expired certificate. Cheers.

[@BodhranMasterclass]

Hi Ken, thanks for the heads up about the website glitch. Just took a few minutes with GoDaddy support to sort that out this morning and waiting to hear back from my other tech support about my Subscribe box. Just tested it myself and it works fine in Safari, but it's playing up using a Chrome browser. Isn't tech fun. lol I appreciate you letting me know. The notation is all included in the accompanying PDF from the Keepers Of The Rhythm course. I'll consider making a separate pdf for the 5 Days challenge to email subscribers.

[@kenlane663]

@@BodhranMasterclass It is working now from my end as well. Happy drumming.

[@sylvielebreton7022]

You added the feet and I thought of Dean Bailey’s wife.

[@BodhranMasterclass]

Sylvie, that has to be one of my fave videos of all time. I still laugh uncontrollably when I watch it, but it's even funnier because it truly represents their sense of humour. I got to meet them both when they came to visit me in Cape Breton and Dean and I jammed to tunes on the deck. He also gifted me a beautiful tipper while they were there and it was made from moose antler with eagles carved into the ends. The friends and memories music has given us are priceless.
