I am trying hard too get the hang of this, my tipper seems large(23cms) would it be easier with a smaller one??

[nancyspungen18]

The triplets are way hard! I just got a bodhran and I cant get the hang of it at all!!!

[BodhranMasterclass]

Just in case I neglected to mention TRIPLETS ARE HARD . . .especially for a beginner so be patient and cut youself a bit of slack. Triplets are definitely one of the trickiest things to master. Try playing along to a favorite cd or video of reels and when you're not trying to play triplets they will just slip in and you'll go "wow, how did I do that?" Sometimes it helps to just let them happen and then work on controlling them.

[BodhranMasterclass]

My tipper is 22 1/4cm, pretty close to yours.I think your stick is the perfect length to learn triplets. A shorter tipper would be more difficult at first. You may find it helpful to play alot heavier JUST AS AN EXERCISE as the exagerrated wrist motion helps you get a run at the down stroke,helps you follow through and results in the top end slipping in.

Plan B:Play down and up strokes as heavy as you can then bring knuckles in until they touch the skin.Let me know how this works for you.

[katsandroses]

It's been about 6 months since I got my little bodhran and about a month or two ago I was able to finally do triples on command! YAY! It helps add an intersting dynamic when playing with all my djembe and djune friends :D

[ooohhhshiny]

well it sounds cool. i searched learning to play tenor drum into search and this poped up =S i i watched anyways =)

[sweavo]

very nice! second instructional video I've watched on the bodhran and that was so clear that I could get a triplet by mimicking directly what I saw. Thanks!

[nancyspungen18]

Thanks to your tutorial I got the hang of them pratically straight away after I wrote that comment. Now Im pretty good at the Bodhran. I've been playing along to lots of songs..especially jigs. I find it easier than the reels to be honest. Thanks again for your tutorials!
