There are many ways to answer this. I really think the instrument is quite interesting because in a way the person playing it is more connected to it than a drummer would be to their kit. Changing a snare drum's pitch as you play really isn't a thing. Also as small as this channel is, it is giving the instrument a platform and maybe some people have learned about it that way. At least that was the intention, to introduce it to people that may be unaware of it. But personally, I don't listen to almost any of the music in which it is involved. I appreciate the Bodhran in a less direct way and hope to share that appreciation with others. Hope that serves as a daring answer.
Some call it a tipper, some call it a beater, others call it a stick, because thats what it is
When in doubt: Percussionist
Or tipper, beater
I prefer rubber tipped solid wood
So, you don't like the bodhran? Cause tht's what I'm getting. Answer if you dare.
