Just a rank beginner at the tender age of 78. Have long wanted to play and finally bought my first bodhran. I really enjoyed this session. Thanks

This is IT! The Holy Grail of Bodhran videos! One meant for users of all abilities, so you can find your ability niche and play along, and then be pushed a little to see if you can go faster and keep up with that metronome. Good audio quality, no distractions, timeless clothing, encouraging voice, and great camera angles. Your whole series of tutorials is superb because they are concise, but this in particular is a really thoughtfully crafted video, and I so appreciate it, it's going straight to the top of my playlist so I can play along everyday and see my progress. Thank you!!

I just resurrected my interest in playing the bodhran that until recently was gathering a bit of dust in the corner of my living room. I've now committed myself to daily practice and I was looking for some videos to guide and inspire me. Well, I found your channel and its great. We live in the same area, you VA, me DC and I see you are offering lessons in person and by Skype. After I get up to speed following your videos a bit I'll be in contact directly to take lessons. Thanx

Hey Alex!! Hope you’re doing well man! I’m digging your recent videos! Crazy it’s November already. Don’t know where time went! Yea, I do dig the sound of the MOS2 prototype that’s in these older videos, but I like the Rebellion’s size and ergonomics. The Touchstone also tunes lower and has a much-expanded tonal range to my ear!

Hi Matthew, I'd just like to say that this is a great wee video you've made here for this particular rhythm, just like Patrick O'Conner I am very much a beginner with no musical back ground except for mixing underground electronic house music, breakbeat etc on a set of Turn Tables a mixer and 2 Vinyl Records. But I am really enjoying playing my Bodhran, it's a wonderful way to past some time in a productive fashion. I shall stick with this and perfect it at the slower speed, cause once I got to the half way stage as the speed progressed I lost it BIGTIME Ha Ha. It's just amazing that you can get help from the likes of yourself and all the other Bodhran Teaching Enthusiasts, and give us learners a push in the right direction. Thanks again Dude.. Mick :)

Yes, Fabius, this lesson works regardless of the tipper type or the grip that you use. I like using rod tippers because of the sound and the response/feel, but that's just personal preference. Same thing regarding grip.

Bobhobo, my Bodhran is a custom drum by Christian Hedwitschak. It is 37cm diameter by 15 cm deep, w/a concave frame and interchangeable heads. I use a Remo Skyntone synthetic head at the moment. My drum is the precursor to the MOS2 model. Cheers!

Thanks Patrick. The dotted quarter note is the basic pulse where you'd naturally tap your foot in compound meter tunes (6/8, 12/8, 9/8 etc.) So at the faster tempos, the metronome is clicking on the dotted quarter note, or once per every three eighth notes. Does that answer your question?

@patrickoconnor2064 10 жыл бұрын
thanks for your reply. I don't wish to be difficult but I think I need to see an example of what you have explained. Is this described in another of your videos? I find your instructions very detailed and helpful. However I'm a bit of a novice in music theory so some of your terms, concepts are a bit beyond my music education.

Great lesson for something I've been working really hard on, can get up to the dotted at 100 but struggling to get to 120. Will work with my own metronome! Thanks for all these lessons online. I've got very good at playing jigs with the '1' being an up stroke so i can accent 2 and 4 a little better but this is the eventual aim! Will you be at Craiceann Festival? Cheers Joe, Nottingham UK.

Does the emphasis on the downstoke change between 100 bpm and faster? Seems like I'm hearing the downstroke as the dominate one up to 100 bpm and by 140 bpm, it's almost as if the upstroke is more dominant. Also, some explanation of the "dotted quarter note" would be appreciated. Thanks!
@HeyItsMattBell
@HeyItsMattBell 7 жыл бұрын
podster01 Great questions! No, the emphasis does not change at 100 BPM and faster. It may sound that way as the metronome is only clicking on the first of every three-note (down-up-in) grouping, instead of on every single note. That is what I'm referring to when I say the metronome is clicking on each dotted quarter note. More detailed music theory videos are available at: contemporarybodhran.com

A bit of both :) There is considerably too much reverb on these old videos, and the audio is clipping audibly at times. That aside, the drum sounds good acoustically. It’s essentially a prototype of Christian Hedwitschak’s MOS2, with a Remo skyntone synthetic head.

Chris Cunningham Yea, this sticking certainly gets more challenging at the higher tempos. I’d think about trying short bursts, like maybe 30 seconds at a time, and then doing multiple “sets” in a row of that 30-second burst. In a practical sense, that is a more realistic scenario of how one might have to use this pattern.
