I believe this is a bodhran.

There are many types of frame drums and many different ways to play them.

Look into: daf, doira/dayereh, bodhran, mazhar, riq, tamburello, pandeiro, and bendir

With a lot of practice and the help of the internet, you should be able to learn a good amount on your own.

@glorplaxyI don't think it's a bodhran.  A frame drum - more Mid-Eastern than Irish although Remo might of made it into a hybrid of the two drums.

Can anyone help me, I have a frame drum that has started to cup/warp, what could I do to straighten it again?

Does anybody know how he produces this overtone-flute like sound in the beginning? I've tried simply immitating what I see but it doesent work... Oh, and thanks for uploading this great video!
