Es una pena que el audio y la imagen no estén muy bien sincronizados y no se aprecia bien el sonido que produce cada golpe... pero me da ideas para sacarle más partido a mi bodhran...
olafur, i did'nt realize that theres a such a long history of bodhran playing in iceland (i've not heard of ANY). in case you didn't realize the bodhran is an irish instrument, the modern (glen velez) style you speak of is; tar like, frame drum techniques applied to a bodhran, which is still good but different.
you have no idea about me and what modern styles i'm into, and its funny that you would even try to teach me!...what you dont know could fill a book!!!!
i think thats called a tar, a bodhran is usually held in one hand and played with a stick with the left hand inside pushing against the skin to change the pitch
bodhrans are the irish version of frame drums, theres similar drums in other cultures played with fingers as opposed to with a stick, but although they look and sound similar, this drum has more in common with a tar or riq than with a bodhran, come to ireland if you want to see what it is
Sure it's an Irish version of the frame drum. I've been many times to Ireland. I play the bodhran and also the Tar. But as you can see in the clip, it also lends itself to finger playing. I first saw it played with fingers by Christy Moore. He used his hand as if it were a tipper. With the fusion and exchange of music going on, you gotta expect new ways of doing things.
diarmaidok, that's a Remo bodhrán. Obviously you don't know a lot about modern bodhrán styles and frame drums. "More in common with a riq"? Inform yourself before you try to teach people who knows more than you
Hi diarmaidok, how do you know that? I would hate to sound as a wanker either. I don't know if I know more about Bodhráin than you, how could I without knowing you? You are probably into Irish Bodhrán playing which I only play badly. But I'm a professional percussionist & framedrummer, I've played Bodhrán for 10 years (mainly with the fingers as the guy in the video), I've performed and recorded with frame drums... I'd just noticed you are not into frame drums and MODERN bodhrán styles.
This is the best of your videos. Have you studied with Glen Velez? Unfortunately your camera doesn't have a very good sound. Some instruments and techniques sound a little bit strange. For next videos it would be a good idea to try to get a better sound quality.
Frame drums are versatile and span many different cultures. Cross-over is a good thing.
