Do you use the top end of the tipper to do triplets? I cannot see it in the video, either too fast or too dark to see.

[abedoron1]

Yes I use most of the time one end of the tipper to do fast triplets rolls and 32 notes, but I like to mix this with the old "both ends" way.

Thank you

[NatureLover987]

only one word-WOW

and you're doing all (or 99%) of that with only one tipper head... this makes me want to smash my bodhran against a rock LOL

[vithefiddler]

It just makes me want to grab my fiddle and start playing!

[diarmaidok]

[gilbohadana]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­d !!!

[Alkyon85]

Wow! I have no words for this. I loved those great, clear rolls! Can I ask you a question about your drum? -It's a Seamus O'Kane(or it seemsto be one...) -What's your opinion about it? I play on a vignoles 16" (it sounds great), but I want a really good drum.

[abedoron1]

It is an O'Kane Bodhran.He makes wonderful drums, it is the best drum I have seen or played.

It has a crisp sound, with a beautiful round bass for open strokes, it's very dynamic, and produces easily a wide range of different sounds.

Soundmen allways get excited about it and tell me that it sounds naturally like other drums after passing through EQ and compression in a studio.

It is great for working with amplification and it is lovely in acoustic situations or sessions.

So go for it!
