| | Bodhran History |
 | | THE bodhran evolved in the mid-20th century from the tambourine, which can be heard on some Irish music recordings dating back to the 1920s and viewed in a pre-Famine painting. | | | The bodhran found its place in the traditional music of recent times largely through the work of Sean O Riada and Ceoltóirí Cualann, in which the late Peadar Mercier played the instrument. | | | In the mid-20th century spoons and bones also provided percussion for Irish dance music while the snare and pedal drums were popular with the ceili bands. |

| | The Session: Discussions - Bodhran's Few and Between |
| | The best sessions in Ireland do not ever include a bodhran 'player' and most of the best musicians in Ireland have never recorded an album which includes a goatskin-basher. | | | I love the sound of the unaccompanied fiddle and flute (for example) as much as the next man, but sometimes, when the bodhran, guitar and (God forbid!) spoons kick in with their thumping bass notes, chiming mids and rattling high tones, the whole thing seems to lift off to a new level. | | | We're listening when somebody suggests a tune so that we're ready with a suitable accompaniment; we're listening for the change from the A part to the B part, ready to modify our playing accordingly; we're listening so that we're ready as the first tune segues into the next; we throw in the odd rhythmic embellishment. |

| | The most significant development of the instrument has taken place in the past 50 years or so, its rise co-inciding with the work of Sean O'Riada who, by developing music from informal gatherings in the pub and the parlour into a performance type on the stage, opened Irish music to new audiences. | | | A bodhran was played fairly simply initially and has continuously developing musical sophistication. | | | Johnny 'Ringo' McDonough is acknowledged as being seminal in the introduction of the left hand ON the skin and thereby opening up the instrument to a whole new world of sound options. |

| | Maintaining Your Bodhran |
| | A bodhran should normally give a nice ringing "bong" sound or, at the highest, a sound like a drum-kit tom when tapped. | | | The most delicate and vulnerable part of the bodhran is the skin. | | | Not only does it have to take a beating during playing, but it is routinely exposed to such hazards as accidental encounters with sharp objects and changes in temperature and humidity which could result in a puncture or tearing. |
