None of these examples are show-off performances. There are no fancy strokes or wild rim shots, light speed playing or bodhran solos. These examples are solid, reliable, workman-like bodhran performances. The performances are intended to boost your desire to become a great player.
All of the strokes you'll see in these videos have been covered in the Bodhran for Beginners class. The performers just play those strokes with confidence and speed! Enjoy the music. Admire the musicianship of the bodhran players.
