LOL... so true. In fat most of the time they don't even ask permission before joining in. One person starts playing a tin whistle and instantly 10 gobshites starting banging away, totally drowning him out.

"You will never again feel the horrible emptiness inside which made you purchase the bodhran in the first place"
Pure genius. We've all met someone like that, and it's fucking annoying when they try to play.

There are some extremely bizarre ideas of Irish music expressed by some of the commenters here, but I haven't time to dissect and explain them all. Just some highlights: the bodhran is a folk drum formerly used mainly by the Wren Boy mummers in Wexford and elsewhere. It was imported into the dance genre about 45 years ago. Prior to that I never saw one used.
The great Irish piper Seamus Ennis was once asked what was the best way to play the bodhran. He replied, "With a jack-knife."

@Hikikomori013: it's a frame drum, yes. Not sure why people think otherwise - ???

@alanthedrum: Huh?!

@majormana1 How does a bodhrann differ from a frame drum? It's a skin stretched over a hoop, so I don't know the difference.
