Now hold on a minute I never recommended Seamus O’Kane’s I have not bought my new one yet but I was planing on getting an O’Kane that was top on my list.Ok, from what the good people of this forum have been saying, it would seem by an overwhelming majority that Seamus O’Kane’s bodhrAlbert Alfonso makes by the best Bodhrans I have ever played. Nowadays, you can find bodhrans for sale all over the world, by a wide variety of makers.When you’re looking for a bodhran, be aware that there are no shortcuts. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Alfonso’s are distinctive because he leaves some of the goathair around the rim, so don’tt get it wet. : if you submerge the skin in Guinness for a period of time, it might develop nice Celtic patterns on the surface.My mate, Paul Phillips from Downpatrick Co Down, swears by the O’Kane bodhran and he won the All Ireland last year [accompanied by my good self on the Flute of course!! No bodhrans at all for us, then, I guess… ;)Hi MOTB, I’m new here too-although I’ve been lurking for a few weeks, and if your post was a wind-up, I’m taking the bait. Be sure to ask plenty of questions, and use the eBay Buyer Protection Program to your full advantage if you feel you haven’t gotten what you were sold.The Session is the largest online community of traditional Irish music lovers and players.
Tunable, non-tunable, deep-rim and regular bodhráns; have a look around and see which bodhrán suits you. Consider yourself invited Mike, although I DO remember you playing a bit more than the drum.
Photo Gallery. Welcome to the session. I hadn’t realized. The Bodhran Makers is a delightful storytelling of a traditional rural Irish community, and the hold that religion, traditional music and drinking had on their lives.
But the main problem is just that they’re cheaply mass-produced from inferior materials.And while they may look great now, think about what a year or two of regular playing will do to the paint. At The Bridget Drum Company, we have perfected the art of building custom drums. If so, I sat in with your band once, long ago, and would have you know there’s a session most Sundays at the Ha’Penny at around 7. Albert goes down that direction (smaller OR larger diameters), but again, most of his skins are 2-3 times thicker than those that Seamus uses, so the resulting drums are very very different in terms of playability, tone, and response. Feeling very humbled for my Da.Nice post, Murrough. As I personally play with someone who plays an o’Kane I couldn’t recommend it more highly.I reckon that Seamas O Kane from Derry has the edge on all others.Hey, by the way, remember to consider that the climate of wherever you live will have a huge impact on the tone of your drum.
Paddy League, the drummer, got one wet while on a farm in Ireland a few years ago and the goats followed the smell for a week. *grin* *Are* we die-hard pure drop traditionalists? Believe it or not, he is a Cuban living in Dallas, Texas; but I his are the best I’ve ever played. You get massive amounts of variation in the skin. The skin isn’t dyed or imbued with ink, it’s just painted over with paint that can and will flake off. There’s honestly too many to mention, and I’m sure lots of players have a couple of different drums knocking around, experimenting with new ones etc. Your unique name asks the question: Could you be the graphic artist/cartoonist guy, playing Irish music and living in Boise? Don’t want to say to much in it, as it might be looked upon as "father indulgent", but very flattered for him for some of the kind words that people have said. There are plenty of cheaper, inferior drums out there that will no play well or sound good. The whole argument can be settled if you decide what sort of skin you want. In answer to your question, my friend David Settles (But it’s probably easier to buy one. The best person to buy from is another player, who knows the instrument and can give you honest feedback about it. One warning: there can be a lot of controversy surrounding bodhran posts. However, there’s plenty of discussion of all of the instruments of Irish music, and bodhrans come up for sale somewhat regularly. Not only is it a good place to “talk shop,” you’ll often see bodhrans coming up for sale. O’Kane certainly does make incredible drums- that is something that is difficult to deny- but I’ve found that lots of American players (NOT including myself) prefer thicker skins with more attack, hence the other big trend towards Alfonso.
There’s sadness too, depicting how this way of life was dying out, with many leaving for England due to abject poverty.
