In this Bodhrán Bootcamp I'll give you a super effective pattern to improve your sound on bodhrán, and to make your strokes clear and articulate - with no scratching sound!

I’m Ruairi Glasheen, and I’m a percussionist, composer and filmmaker based in London. I’ve been playing bodhrán since I was 4 years old and I simply love this instrument! This is the first episode in a NEW SERIES of technique tutorials where I’ll share with you my approach to playing this instrument so please comment below any suggestions or requests you might have!
