“Will It Bodhran”: “One,” “Running Up That Hill” and “Wipe Out”

I tried some pop and rock songs to see if you could play along with them on bodhran. Mostly this was an excuse to take a closer look at songs from the drummer’s perspective

Hi Matt. What is the finger snare that you are using? I want one.
Thanks for your educational bodhran videos.

It’s called a “Snare CarpHED” from Hedwitschak drums (a lot of my gear is Hedwitschak stuff these days, I’m kind of a fanboy). It’s a great little effect, and I’ve been using it more and more lately.
You can order them from either the bodhranmaker.de or bodhran-info.de web sites if there’s not a local dealer.

Love this!

After hearing the drum parts for One played on bodhran, you totally have me wondering whether or not you could play "Nothing Else Matters" on the harp... 🤔
