Yes, they are playing with just their hands. I believe that it is called the "Roscommon style" of bodhrán playing. It is used when you want a very base, but softer sound on the goat-skin. There are many ways to play the bodhrán. :o)

Oscail an doras don tailleir fhidhleir
Oscail an doras don fhidhleir tailleir
Oscail an doras don tailleir fhidhleir
Firrinneri fhidhleir tailleir
inbetween that is some simple lilting / gaelic-scat singing
