The Bodhran again………
Its a while since there has been a good discussion about the drum.So I just felt like expressing an opinion……..I feel that the biggest problem with the bodhran is that it must be your main if not only Instrument to reach the standard of the great players . I know that there are a few players like Brian Morrisey and others who have mastered other instruments but to get up there with the McDonaghs the Murphys and the Kellys Its Impossible to have time for anything else when you look at the time they have put into the drum .I’m playing a bit of bouzouki at the momment and even though it has helped my druming in some ways I just wonder is it slowing down my progress on the drum and stopping me from reaching the level i want to get to………………And just a reminder to those of you who think they acheive success on the drum in a short period of time .ye are fooling yourselves……..
