[StuckInTheStargate]

Sweet! I'm going to Ireland this summer and am going to pick up a bodhran, I've been watching your vid over and over with a frisbee and pencil trying to play! Is it easier than it seems?!

[corrmania]

cool i went to Ireland a couple years ago to Cork and Dulin (looking up our Irish ancestory and bought another bodhran ive got with a harp on the front. It will get easier ive been playing about a year. Apparently i did the completly wtong hand wrist action at first but was corrected but as always Practise Makes Perfect!

[corrmania]

[namsamram]

mines tiny and makes it hard to play when i play it drones on i might need to get a biger one

hey great playing for a beginner.as you go through the half stroke pretend your holding a pen but closer the middle the tipper.pretend your actually holding a paintbrush and your painting the damn thing.for the double stick style,half through pretend your opening a door knob.these techniques will aid you.also learn slow build up speed gradually.loosen up that wrist girlie,and get that hand moving behind the drum,youll be pro soon enough.write me if u a query,

[HunnyKidd1973]

Ok, yea, I want to do this. I have been asking my husband for one for about 2 years. I would love to play one in our church. The only "rhythum" we have right now is about 5 tamborines. I play the lead. I would love to change it up.
