So many videos out there of people talking about different skins and taping without actually playing and demonstrating the difference. Thank you for this video!
Those drums sound great. I’m about to try my hand at making a bodhran. Mind if I ask where you source your Lambeg skins from? Having trouble finding a good source.
Hi there. Two questions: you wouldn't happen to have played with the boxty gang a few years back, would you? Into the second question: how do lamber skins age? I've heard they tend to decay really fast. Best regards and thanks for this thourough video
Hello, sorry for the late reply. Nope, I didn't play with them, must be some other handsome man 😅 . Lambeg skins take a bit longer to play in from my experience due to them being so thin, however they become lovely and stable after a LOT of playing. This has only been my experience and I cannot speak for all lambeg skins. Perhaps they might wear down a bit quicker than a thicker skin but I have never heard of it being an issue. Seamus O'Kane uses Lambeg skins exclusively and his drums don't tend to decay any quicker than any other drum. Again, I can only speak from my own personal experience.
There is a massive difference between good quality coffee and bad, cheap coffee. Everything is subjective and people like different things. This is not a comprehensive video, just a demonstration of the skins I had on hand at the time.
@@mchughcustompercussion calm down ......I'm entitled to my opinion...I'm not criticising the quality of your skins, I just said, they all sound like bodhran skins ,with subtle variations in sound reproduction ......?.....in my opinion a well made good sounding bodhran can be bought at the cheaper end of the price tag....or the upper end....or are you arrogantly saying that your bodhrans are superior sounding and unique to all other bodhrans on the market ...? Is that what this is all about... marketing propoganda and your paranoid ego..? Just remember the original frame drums of ireland were simply made...but managed to sustain their popularity in folk music long before you were born..you need to humble yourself to that fact ....before going off on one ...!
@@lightningspirit2166 I was talking about coffee, I don't enjoy instant coffee. I think you might have missed the point of my video, but thank you for your comment, take care.
@@mchughcustompercussion ......well I thought your video was about bodhran skin types ..not coffee...?..however....we irish ought to stick together so ...slainte .....!

All good,,,Calf Velum sounded most balanced. Very hard to discern between the Calf and Sitka.
The differences are not that great, like different kinds of coffee.....still coffee ,!
