After about 2 minutes of constant playing my tipper arm is on fire. This man is a champion for playing through that kind of pain. I salute you Mr. Murray!
@KnittingShieldMaiden nice to c there is some intrest from across the ocean. i was taught by the same man who tught amon. a man called charlie. great teacher. but this is his greatest student. i could have went on ta do this aswell but i did not have the drive. i was only was interested in sport called hurling.
Top end style so ridiculously quick !! I try and try and try, but only with both the top and bottom end of the stick can i come close to this speed...and then i'm only talking about speed, let alone a nice continuous rythm and or melody...o well, i'll keep practicing for ten more years or so ... :-)
@martijn573 Don't stop trying! I did a few classes with Eamon at the Craiceann school, and again in Kansas City. He's a really nice fella, and a great percussionist. As to top end and speed -- I don't think speed is all that important. What's important is being able to add something to the music. If what you're doing isn't adding anything, then don't play -- no shame! . Eventually, you will find what works best for you -- remember, you're the heartbeat -- keep the pulse alive.
Watch John Joe Kelly he is the best in the world and thats just not my point of view i hav a mate that won the all ireland 3 times in a row on the bodhran firstly when he was 8. John Joe won it when he was nine. my friend is thirteen now lyk me and he is the best bodhran player of his agein ireland and he still thinks John Joe is the best in the world!

@MonacoRocha: remember; it's not the bodhran that makes you sound good, it's the player.
Eamon not only plays Hedwitschak drums, he also has two Metloef drums and drums by Ralf Siepmann.

Relax practice and use your wrist! Relaxing while playing makes you play a lot faster rOk3r101

@MonacoRocha Eamon plays bodhrans by Christian Hedwitschak, out of Bavaria. Easy enough to find online. Pricy, but worth every penny.

I got to see him do that live. He actually came to NM (I don't live there, but we went over to see them anyway) They're my favorite Irish band now.
And then I got them to sign my poster!And I got my picture taken with them!
(Case yall read this I was the one in the obnoxiously pink dress...we were in Farmington...and yall talked about how hung over you were...)
And they're awesome!
And they have beautiful accents!
Irish accents always make me melt...*daydreamy sigh*
LOVE YOU BEOGA!
