This is the first Instructor IMO, that really got down to the bare bones BEGINNING if you will, of how to play this drum. She showed me the first beating heart of the Bodhran to the Jig. I salute her for a sterling Job! Truly, former Lieutenant Commander John O'Sullivan, my immigrating ancestors came from Counties what are now Cork and Kerry. Castletown Bere to be precise, and they dropped the O', thinking that ignorant American Colonials would think them of American, or American- Sounding backgrounds/stock. They were in my estimate of history at the time, were correct at least 60+% of the time, at least until they opened their mouths. Har!
Stumbled across Nicolle‘s bodhran lessons here on YT and then learned she is giving lessons at the OAIM. Lucky me! I have already subscribed to improve my mandolin and zouk skills, so I have also bought a drum now - and here we go. I really like the charming way Nicolle is teaching the bodhran.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic I wanted to save some money, so I bought it second hand. Here in Germany you will mostly find Meinl or Hedwitschak. After reading about Christian’s craftsmanship I decided for a CoreLine 15“.
Excellent lesson thank you! I am a fairly accomplished drummer with things like trap set and snare drum and I’ve been doing bodhran for quite a while, but I really want to improve it and I am sure going back to the basics will really help.
Wow, this was a very enjoyable lesson! I kind of gave up on my bodhran, but your lessons are so easy to follow that have to sign up for more. Thank you!
Great teaching style Nicole. What brand and size drum are you using in this video? And what is the name of the tipper you showed and recommended for beginners with the bigger ends?
Glad you like it ! Continue learning with Nicolle in her structured course designed for you to progress quickly - www.oaim.ie/bodhran/nicolles-bodhran-basics/

Wonderful lesson. As soon as I get the tipper from my neighbor, I’ll play my drum!
I got my tipper today!
You can make one yourself out of bamboo skewers as well. There are several tutorials on YT.
@@afr65536 thank yo, Alexander. I bought the two toppers already.
Nice!!!!!!! WOO HOO
Lot's more lessons from Nicole here - www.oaim.ie/bodhran/nicolles-bodhran-basics/
Does it have to be a sideways hit or could you do more direct. Just feels awkward for me holding the drum this way
Awesome
Keep going with the next lessons - www.oaim.ie/bodhran/nicolles-bodhran-basics/

I'm even more of a beginner than that. How do I hold the tipper? 😂
