🎶 Begin your bodhrán journey HERE: bodhran.teachable.com/p/how-to-play-bodhran
The 26 drum rudiments have been used to teach drumming for over 100 years and in this video I take 4 of my favourites and share how they can be applied to the Irish Bodhrán to develop your playing hand technique.
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!
