A bodhrán improvisation... after a week :S

It's only been a little less than a week since I got my hands on this bodhrán -- I only got it last Wednesday -- and I'll admit, I'm having a reel-ly good time with it (pardon the pun)! Still, I'll gladly accept if I'm doing something wrong, because after all, I learned this pretty much by myself from scratch, and I still have a lot more to learn. Here I'm just messing around with reels... really messing around. I absolutely love the sound of that thing...

By the way, for those of you who haven't a clue what a bodhrán is... it's the frame drum used in Irish music. A reel is a rhythm or tune in 4/4 time, depending on the instrument (which is essentially what I've been doing throughout the video).

SO COOL!!!!!

Eh. I guess it'll probably be cooler once I learn more. But I trust you know by now that I'm not playing it because it's cool, but because I enjoy the sound so much that I could just play it all day (almost)!

You try to do so much on your own... THAT is what's amazing and cool to me! I shudder in awe to think what you could do if you had access to the resources that would take you to the next level!

Slowly but surely, I hope to get there. I have got the bodhrán and ankle bells, and soon, I'll be getting access to a mic. There are things to work towards. Next time I do see you online, I'll gladly tell you one of the things I'm working towards! x
