This is my etude no. 1 for solo Bodhrán

Hey I'm Ruairi and I'm a percussionist and film maker - I make music tutorials, and documentaries about music from all around the world. This is me testing out the new YouTube #shorts feature with a quick solo - let me know what you think!

I composed this etude for my wonderful Bodhrán Explorers group this past weekend. Its a hearty challenge, but as always the group jumped straight into it reminding me how lucky I am to get to work with these incredible bodhrán players every week!
