Amazing Bodhran Drumming!

Holy Moley!  I've never really investigated Bodhran drum music that much, for various ego related reasons, but I just found this video and was astounded!!  These guys are fantastic...




A favorite frame drummer of mine has always been Glen Velez.  His music makes me shiver and shake!   This music can be used for Shamanic Trance explorations:


Have yourself a merry little day!

  1. Come... come to the Dark Side of Bodhran Drumming... hahah!

    Seriously tho', I think the type of drum matters not. It's the soul & hands of the player behind it which makes the Drum!

  2. I taught myself to play the bodhran, and I love it as an accompaniment to almost anything

  3. I was also fortunate to meet Glen Velez in person, and go to a couple of frame drum clinics he taught at Iowa "DAYS OF PERCUSSION" at Grinnell College a few years back....now my wife and I live in Batesville, Arkansas where she is the Director of Campus Life at Lyon College. I have formed an improvisational percussion trio called "Drum Stories" and we are performing locally...
