Beginner Bodhrán: FREE Lesson No.1 of 2 from oaim.ie with Brian Fleming

[YourPhilOfCanada]

I bought one last year and I've been trying to practice is since. I feel like I'm doing everything right, but I still get a 'dragging' sound instead of getting a nice bounce with the stick off the drum.

Part of my problem might be that I have a cheap older bodhran drum.

I really love playing it though and I'd just like to get a nicer rhythm going.

Way to go Brian!! Glad I found This :) Catch a wave and a pint with ye some day soon x Corina.

If all the lessons are as thorough as this first one, even an old gal like me should be able to learn. Will be back.......

@zetalyn1 In 12 lessons Brian pretty much covers all you would need to know about playing the bodhrán. Check it out, it's a great course!

Is there a 2nd free bodhran lesson? Found the first one very helpful.

[irishmusicacademy]

@micheleph1 Glad you found this useful. You can find the second lesson on our website on the free lessons page - oaim.ie
