The bodhrán is a traditional
Irish drum, typically made with a wooden frame and a goatskin head.
Played with a double-ended stick called a tipper, the bodhrán provides a rhythmic backbone to Irish music. It's known for its deep, resonant sound and versatility, allowing players to produce a wide range of tones and rhythms by varying their hand and tipper techniques.
The bodhrán has become a staple in Celtic music, appreciated for its ability to drive the beat and add a dynamic, percussive element to traditional tunes.
