  • Guys, that's not a Bodhran, that's a Moroccan Bendir!

  • would you mind telling us the difference? each person that comes here, tell it's not a bodhran and cites a different instrument, but don't explain.

  • That's not a bodhran... it's an Egyptian instrument called a Tar.

  • would you mind telling me the difference? :)

  • Hand drums are one of the most ancient instruments. They appear in almost all cultures and in various sizes from 6" to 30" or more. Essentially, the bodhran, tar, def, bendir (dundat LOL!), muzhar, buffalo, etc. are all circlular wooden frames with an animal skin (usually goat in the case of bodhrans) -can be played with hand or a beater. Styles, of course, vary with the culture.

  • Interesting tone, might be a bit of fun to try doing this on my 18 inch

  • @IrritableBadger not true, I've seen Bodhrans up to 24 inches.

  • That's a big fucking drum. It isn't a bodhran though. Bodhran's are 14" or 16" diameter.

  • it looks like a shaman drum to me. i heard they're like bodhrans only bigger.

  • That is so sexy!

  • It's more the way you play it that makes it a different instrument. A bodhran is traditionally smaller than that, 16-18 inches or so. And it's often much lower in pitch and less ringy. Most importantly it's played with a small stick called a cipin or a tipper. The stick can be played with one end or both ends depending on style. The bodhran is held perpendicular to the body and the stick hits it parallel as opposed to linearly.

  • Calm down, i'm sure every culture has some form of large open-ended circular drum.
