The land of the Bodhran...




This is what I have been attempting to master. It is called an Irish Bodhran, and yes it is a drum. You can play with different sticks, but the bodhran stays the same. My teacher has been pressing me to learn in faster because we are leaving in a few short weeks for the states. Right now, I am trying to do a succession of three even notes called a triplet..... at about a million miles an hour. It's not working. Help!!! My hands don't move that fast!!
Here's an example of how fast it is:

And if that doesn't look too hard, then why don't you come out here and give it a try. ;)
