Ruairi Glasheen | Bodhrán Solo #Shorts - Jamming on my new drum @bodhran | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hey I'm Ruairi and I'm a percussionist and film maker @bodhran - I make music tutorials, and documentaries about music from all around the world. This is me testing out the new YouTube #shorts feature - let me know what you think!

Delighted to introduce you to the new edition to my ever expanding family of bodhráns!

This drum from Seanie McGrath has been a wonderful addition, and I’m loving getting to grips with the sound which is very different to what I usually play on. Its a deer skin, which is a first for me, and as a result has loads of hearty front sound and attack. That being said, there is no shortage of bass, or high tones from the back of the drum, and I suspect that it will only get better with age.
