Bodhran with Dylan James R.

I started playing the bodhran because I wanted to learn an instrument that would allow me to play in sessions without having the the songs that the group normally plays memorized. I ended up improving quickly and it quickly became my companion to my fiddle. However, the only bodhran style that I know is the Kerry style. This style uses the tipper (stick) that has weighted ends on the stick. So not a uniform rod, but a rod with essentially a wooden ball on the ends.
