That was brilliant thank you! I've picked up my Bodhran after 30 years and found your video so good to follow, I did have to change it to spinach and broccoli, tofu and beans, though as veggie!!!!
Merci beaucoup à toi pour tes vidéos. De très bon conseils très vite mis en pratique. Ça m'aide énormément et je peux prendre plaisir à jouer tout de suite.

Hi Robby, Welcome to OAIM ! Glad to hear you're practicing this jig pattern. Our VR sets are cool to play along with, check one out here - ruclips.net/video/MjUxbTB-4G0/видео.html
I love Jim Higgin's course and even as an advanced bodhran player I found lots of useful tips and techniques I like to incorporate into my playing. I love his style of playing and the beats are fun! Very much enjoyed his course and tunes he is playing in the course are fun to listen to.
Thank you for a really nice lesson. I already play the first part as you do on some tunes (albeit double ended and bottom end) but I will happily add the groove you use in the second part to my jig repertoire.
Online Academy of Irish Music I literally just started learning, I’ve played my bodhrán twice so far lol thinking abt a subscription with you guys so I have access to the online course.
Fantastic video, very helpful. I just pulled out the bodhran after it being in the attic for many years when I played as a kid so getting back into it. You're a pro Jim. Any sessions or lessons in Cork or kerry. Sound Eoghan
Hi Eoghan, Delighted you've got back into bodhran! You can learn from Jim on the OAIM website. There are many sessions in Cork city and also lots of local sessions in Kerry. Where do you live?
Hi Robyn, Rolls are covered in Jim's course on the OAIM website, check out the details here - www.oaim.ie/bodhran/bodhran-technique/ Have you been playing in sessions or with friends?
As somebody who has played the bodhran for almost 30 years, the best advice I could give is don't haul it out and accompany someone without asking. That only works for the best, and not even then always. OOOH IRISH MUSIC??? I HAVE MY DRUM!!! I've seen it way too often. In fact some Irish musicians say the best way to play the bodhran is with a knife.
Nice playing but you're making a very simple drum beat difficult for yourself by using one stick and then holding it cachanded. If you must use one stick, holding it using French grip would make the music much easier to play and using two sticks would make it really simple.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic I play a kit and also frame drum mostly with hands hands but also stick/sticks/furry stick and pretty much anything I fancy, why limit yourself. There actually are 2 paintings of people playing the Bodhran in pubs in Ireland from the 18th century, they use hand style. That seems the traditional way. The modern method you are teaching seems to be an import from England, this style of stick use being common earlier in the century but dying out in the 1950s/1960s. Why Ireland would change to this style in the 60s/70s seems strange to me. My guess is accessibility.

Great lesson! Could you provide some insight as to how you might be tapping your foot along to the A and B sections to help keep your internal pulse?
Didn’t expect to hear takadimi here!
Do you mind sharing what make and size the drum is in this video?
Hi, the bodhran is a16 inch Christian Hedwithchak
Mmmmm Rashers and Sausages... bacon and eggs..... mmmmm I’m hungry.
Brilliant! :)
Hi Gerry, Glad you liked it thanks for letting us know. How have you been practicing playing along to jigs?
Hi. Could you please tell me what this piece of music is called so that I can play with the music?
Hi Fillis, That's Cora Smyth playing the Clare Jig from her album 'Are We There Yet?
3:40 sounds like “All Along the Watchtower” from Battlestar Galactica
Cool, how have you been practicing the jig beats? Is there any session close to your home?
Online Academy of Irish Music I literally just started learning, I’ve played my bodhrán twice so far lol thinking abt a subscription with you guys so I have access to the online course.
As for a session, I haven’t looked
Here's the bodhran starter course youtube clip - ruclips.net/video/Y540acW6NQM/видео.html Re: Sessions - What country/city do you live in?
Fantastic video, very helpful. I just pulled out the bodhran after it being in the attic for many years when I played as a kid so getting back into it. You're a pro Jim. Any sessions or lessons in Cork or kerry. Sound Eoghan

How do you do the rolls?
Hi Robyn, Rolls are covered in Jim's course on the OAIM website, check out the details here - www.oaim.ie/bodhran/bodhran-technique/ Have you been playing in sessions or with friends?
Online Academy of Irish Music thank you 👍 I’ve just been trying to have a go at home at the moment. I might start lesson though.
Hi Robyn, if you need further help let us know.
Online Academy of Irish Music Which lesson is it, exactly? I bought the course to find the triplets lesson, but I can’t seem to find it.
Where can i find the backing track to pratice the bohran
You can get that as a subscriber on the website - www.oaim.ie

The reason people talk like that about the bodhran is because most drummers think it's easy and over estimate their skill.
Give me this sound track pliz
What a lovely style of playing,thank you.
Well someone's hungry for breakfast LOOOLLLLLL Let's throw something on the fire... 🥓🍳
Came here to learn the Bodhran, now I’m looking in the fridge for sausages.
HA!
Nice playing but you're making a very simple drum beat difficult for yourself by using one stick and then holding it cachanded. If you must use one stick, holding it using French grip would make the music much easier to play and using two sticks would make it really simple.
Would you get the same 'pulse' sound using 2 sticks?
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Yes, hitting with one stick closer to the mute and one further away can be done by any stick combination.
I guess it can but our tradition evolved in this way. What style do you play?

@@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns That's interesting, maybe they started using a stick because it creates a clearer tone than the hand?
Sounds like Halo theme at some parts :p
