Thanks for checking out my documentary, Hidden Drummers of Iran! Let me know what you think in the comments, and subscribe to my channel for the next instalment which is coming your way shortly ;)

[@mikenco]

I discovered you a few days ago whilst looking for Bodhran lessons (thank you for those!). I since discovered this amazing documentary made by you too. The quality of this video is just incredible, it's better than a lot of stuff they put on telly! Great job! I'm going to watch the India episode next. I could honestly watch an entire series of you travelling the globe and spending time with drummers from all cultures. Thank you again.

Dear Ruairi Glasheen, I am Iranian and I am really thankful for making this documentary and introducing a part of Persian music to the world. It is worth mentioning that you yourslf seem like a very nice and emotional person that understand art deeply.

Thank you so much Parmida for your kind words. I really want to showcase the magic of Iran and it’s music through my film and show people another perspective. 🙏✨🤲

Check out Mohamed Reza Mortezavi. He's a an excellent Iranian drummer who now lives in Berlin. His hands are exquisite in playing and his solo concerts are magical to behold. He's mostly known for daf and tonbak playing, but th eman could play anything with his hands, and his philosophy of music is so environmentally organic.

This documentary has offered me a beautiful glimpse into Persian culture which has always intrigued me.

Greetings from ancient Iran. it was a beautiful vlog about traditional drumming in Iran, I am a extreme metal drummer inside Iran and our music is more underground that no one can imagine how hard it is to dodge the misunderstandings and dangers we are facing here. all type of music old and new from traditional to jazz, rock, metal and etc. is practicing in Iran. also I am a hang drummer and have one and also had interest to bodhran many years ago but unfortunately could not have the pleasure to learn it. wish you luck for your future journies.

It is only because some Western country that elected a true fascist has decided that Iran is one of the Boogie Man enemies . The US always needs to have an enemy (Or two to three)to rally behind.

I'm sure you do understand the power of music & rhythm on the human body & soul.. (and they do too..) .Music unites people too.. No wonder music is restricted... Plato wrote: 'Music is medicine to the soul. justice is to the soul as health is to the body. Through music, the soul learns harmony and rhythm and even a disposition to justice.'.

An in-depth analysis; Tumbakh in Persian (or Tumbukin in Sanskrit) is an Aryan (Indo-European) word for drum. When Avestan and Sanskrit split from a parent proto-Aryan language in Central Asia and merged Indian subcontinent both these languages retained this word for drum. Kashmiri (A Daradic Aryan language) which is directly linked to the proto-Aryan language has a similar tradition referred to as Tumbaknare in Kashmir Valley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/novMoHiFrtl8hs0

Only missinformed people or people with no cultural interests of any kind would think that. Iran is one of the greatest cultural staples of the world. A bridge betweem the east and the west, a language that permits you travelling from Turkey to Taijikistan and wouldn't supriseeven to some western areas of China.
