6 jigs: Rónán Ó Snodaigh - Bodhrán Classes

[@bumarse6667]

It's an absolute pleasure to watch someone so connected with their instrument and playing.

[@p1kk45]

after over 3 months, the drumb fucked out into the back garden a cupla times by the wife, some serious soul searching and a hand full of blisters "I GOT IT" and it feels good! Thank you Ronan!!

[@crystalrobot01]

This is the he best percussion drumming I have ever seen, a 130mm fiddle stick and goat skin around a wooden frame, but the sound is just Devine. A true percussionist!!! love this guy, respect !!!!!!

[@herwigstieger5587]

you are so great - full of music! thank so much!

[@leecey93]

Wherever I hear the bodrhan it's like ancestors calling for me. Gaelic history and proud 🥰

[@edwarddannenberg5084]

Still so good! The sticking is crazy. My next 3 months practice goal. Hup!

[@PhilUSAFRet]

My Bodhran role model. You are a great player and a great teacher. thank you for sharing your skills.

[@hughwilson]

Fantastic musician. What a player.

[@quinlanperryman8526]

I love that the camera can't keep up with his hands. Absolutely breathtaking. As a musician I am interested in old folk instruments and the bodhrán is my favorite to play and u get more looks from the lassies because they haven't heard anything of the sort thatnk u for the great instruction and more so for the inspiration

[@itsaguinness]

Love it! The queens language! what? Amazing sound. ☘️

[@luizfernandomoraes7515]

I'm from Brazil! Obrigado!

[@finneire2081]

Fantastic to listen to and watch a person who has became one with an instrument . Up the Dubs

[@christianalima]

He's totally great!!!

[@cezm1161]

This is world class. Just bought my first bodhran today. This is inspiring.

[@RogerRowett]

Absolutely lurve this and the concept of being 'in the groove' - feel the force :-)

[@peterholt3003]

Somatic playing, inspires the freedom of the inner essence, from a Bodrhan God. 😀

[@Kristoffceyssens]

superb! you are having fun! thats what its all about :) just by seeing you play i allready pick up and learn things. thanks you putting this online. greetings

[@gordonmclees7509]

amazing skills

[@brewberry3894]

Frikin sick! Love it.

[@FabiusPyromanus]

You're probably one of the most fantastic and lovely persons ever!

[@yvonneschlame8657]

Awe!

[@JF-kv1gm]

Oh this is the business!! I'm feeling a little lacking in motivation to practice regularly. This is a good hefty kick up the you know what!! Thanks so much 💗🙏🤗

[@shaalis]

One of the nice ways he plays is that he gets a huge fulcrum advantage playing like this rather than a double ended method. You can really skip that tipper's end. Just a snap here and there are you can make some amazing permutations.

[@PatrickGrahamPercussion]

Brilliant!

[@womanatwittsend]

One day maybe. But in the meantime may I say that was an absolute delight to watch! Oh good lord I just thought to peek at the poster and realized it was you Scan! You never disappoint! Thanks yet again!

[@sheilagla]

Ah Ronan, You are a Star......!

[@magdelene2001]

Its great right where Im at learning wise....thx

[@kaikandojo]

amazing! thank you for sharing!!

[@exobnos]

I like how organic and spontaneous his way of teaching is. Maybe a bit difficult if you are really fresh on the instrument, though.

[@mightymoose1158]

I’m totally new but I get what he means by getting in the groove and to “keep this going”. I trained as a paddler, I can paddle to a metronome and the old adage is when in doubt, paddle. I will strive to learn to get the basic rhythm as instinctive as possible first. Then the real fun can begin. Muscle memory is awesome.

[@vivianheo9595]

Thank you!!!!

[@christineaubuchon3670]

Joyous!

[@txncelt]

I really wish I could see his left hand work to keep up tonality while standing Just awesome

[@sofjinfenriz3634]

A joy to watch! Much better than the rest of these stiffs! I must have a bodhran...

[@popandhar]

Great player and lessons

[@julast6658]

Brilliant

[@andreaskuntke3452]

jesus - so gorgeous

[@davidbarry3905]

This guy is such a character makes me laugh , but he is also very good a little different to every body else but loves the craic Thanks new tricks

[@aaronedwardturner]

Amazing to watch. Probably the coolest musician ever. Would you consider adopting me?

[@JohnOsCreations]

Man you are funny and a great musician. Thanks for the lessons

[@shaalis]

Completely true about overthinking: You need to have the stuff internalized so it starts to be effective and you can focus on the groove. Then you get variety.

[@barryquinn8054]

Id show this to anyone that said bodhrans easy

[@dickturban1969]

I'll come to Dublin Ronan. Will you teach me the groove and the Craic?

[@TempleofStone]

Beast!!! 🙏🏻🗿🔥👉🏼🌞✌🏼🍁☺️💓

[@Phiiphayden]

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

check Phil Lynotts shuffly jiggy bass on "suicide"...... Does any one know if Brian Downey plays bodhran?

[@ashtonodoyle7660]

Another person here asking - what kind of tipper is that and where can we get one? Many thanks for these tutorials--you're the best.

[@irvsheffey1000]

Its been a few months since you posted your query. The tipper is made from a violin bow, has a slight curve, a piece of leather for a grip and a plastic, tear drop tip. Available at www.mcneelamusic.com/

[@duncanhollands5218]

That's good craic

[@brianlarkin5246]

I can hear Emerald there by Phil alright, go raibh maith agat 👍🇮🇪

[@Electro4locos]

Any suggestions for a beginner bodhran player as to a solid but tunable bodhran that will carry me through past the beginner stage? Thanks!

[@bluwalker64]

Fantastic guy, thanks for sharing your wonderful skill. What size bodhran do you suggest for a beginner? Want to buy one for my twelve year old daughter.

[@ronanosnodaigh]

Sorry for being so late to reply but i hope it all worked out and that music , in whichever way , is still in her life ... 🎶🙏🎶

[@prariemusician3171]

I love your lessons! Easy to pick up the rhythm by speaking the sounds. Djembe classes with Bruno Genero, my favorite Djembe player of all time, highlighted the importance of 'speaking' or 'verbalizing' in your head the 'talk' of the drum!. I play Djembe, Conga, Bongo, and Bass drum while playing and I 'hear' what your lessons are saying in 'drum speak'! Your whole body is connected to the beats. After many views I'm better understanding your accent. Took a while! I've looked for the tipper you are using. Right now I'm focusing on your 'Jigs' lessons! Not seeing this type of tipper online. Can you, or anyone who follows your lessons, advise where to purchase this style of 'straight' tipper? Happy to have discovered your lessons as a good friend gave me his Bodhran to play with while I wait for surgery to repair my shoulder joint. Can't play guitar with no cartilege in my dominant rt shoulder. BUT I PLOD ON and am learning the BODHRAN, how fun!

[@23seana73]

I made a 11 inch tipper from 7 barbecue sticks. X

[@ronanosnodaigh]

Try a timballé stick and maybe cut off a few inches of one end ... 🥁🙏

[@GayleneAdamson]

May I use a portion of your bodhran playing for a recording of my original song?

[@maggoli67]

what kind of tipper is that?

[@brianomurchadha8743]

[@bsb4038]

where do i get a real bodhram like that one?

[@coronelsakura2841]

In a real shop paying with real money.

[@bsb4038]

@@coronelsakura2841 lmao, now I know!

[@Eli-ne3vu]

Now I understand where techno came from...

[@Alanjm11]

Dia duit a bhfuil an dul chun dul suas an stroc ar an 1 sios 2 up aon mholtai ? is brea leis na biaganna.

[@AndreasTrillenr]

Oh ja, sehr schön. Du kannst das sehr, sehr gut. Aber ich, mit meinen steifen Fingern, was soll ich da sagen? Am besten nix und höre Dir zu. Was ist das eigentlich für ein Dialekt den Du da sprichst?

[@carolsparks7286]

Good Craic! I wonder does the stick make it easier to play longer? Is it weighted?

[@p1kk45]

Hey Carol.. That stick is a fiddle bowe cut to 310mm its not weighted.. go to your local music shop and ask for any broken fiddle bowes they might have lying around.. try and get as many as you can, cut them all and use which one is most comfortable for you.. happy playing.. Ps i took lessons off Ronan for over 2 years he explained it all... If you ever get a chance try and go to one of his workshops you wont be disappointed.....

[@nedohamilli]

funny ha ha,it ain't the queens hIngilish that they speak in Dubalin,it's just english,just as gracious and technical as that other ind-european spake they call gaedolic, good wee lesson

[@nedohamilli]

@@coronelsakura2841 do you think I don't know kila..... ....I played on the same stage with them a good quater of a century ago ..... can't remember if they were Kila ..then .....I just get tired of the über gaelic pushers ....it's a grand language it doesn't need over emphasised. ......English is a grand language too....as are all other languages .....
