That was brilliant thank you! I've picked up my Bodhran after 30 years and found your video so good to follow, I did have to change it to spinach and broccoli, tofu and beans, though as veggie!!!!

I love Jim Higgin's course and even as an advanced bodhran player I found lots of useful tips and techniques I like to incorporate into my playing. I love his style of playing and the beats are fun! Very much enjoyed his course and tunes he is playing in the course are fun to listen to.

As somebody who has played the bodhran for almost 30 years, the best advice I could give is don't haul it out and accompany someone without asking. That only works for the best, and not even then always. OOOH IRISH MUSIC??? I HAVE MY DRUM!!! I've seen it way too often. In fact some Irish musicians say the best way to play the bodhran is with a knife.
@onlineacademyofirishmusic4 жыл бұрын
The reason people talk like that about the bodhran is because most drummers think it's easy and over estimate their skill.

Nice playing but you're making a very simple drum beat difficult for yourself by using one stick and then holding it cachanded. If you must use one stick, holding it using French grip would make the music much easier to play and using two sticks would make it really simple.

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic I play a kit and also frame drum mostly with hands hands but also stick/sticks/furry stick and pretty much anything I fancy, why limit yourself. There actually are 2 paintings of people playing the Bodhran in pubs in Ireland from the 18th century, they use hand style. That seems the traditional way. The modern method you are teaching seems to be an import from England, this style of stick use being common earlier in the century but dying out in the 1950s/1960s. Why Ireland would change to this style in the 60s/70s seems strange to me. My guess is accessibility.

@@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns That's interesting, maybe they started using a stick because it creates a clearer tone than the hand?
