When buying a Bodhran, there are many factors you should consider. You should take into account the following factors to ensure playability and comfort: Size (height, depth), and optional support bars (T cross, single). The sound produced is affected by: Tunability, skin quality, height and depth.

What’s a Frame Drum?

A frame drum can be described as a musical instrument that has been around for many years. It is believed to have been the first drum ever created. A frame drum is a wooden drum made from round frames and rawhides. For spiritual ceremonies, women use the medium-sized frame drums and men use the larger one.

An Irish Bodhran

Bodhran, an Irish hand-held frame drum, was originally used to separate the grains from their husks. The Gaelic peasants transformed it from a husk filter into a musical instrument by replacing the mesh head with goat skin.

Where to buy your first hand drum?

You don’t necessarily need a top-of-the-line kit if you are just starting to play drums. It is all about your intention and focus. Let me be clear, I think it is nice to have quality equipment. It’s almost like having money. Although it won’t make your life easier, it will not make you happy. Budget is likely to be the most important part of this puzzle. The internet will generally offer the lowest prices, regardless of the instrument you use.

It is important to think backwards. A solid kit can be purchased with a budget of $500 if you have the funds. This will allow you to start your career. Although it might not sound great, it will get the job done. You’re not trying to record an album, but you are learning how to drum.

You’ll need a starter or junior drum kit if you have less than a hundred dollars to spare. This will allow you to learn the drum technique your coach has taught you, and save money for an upgrade. You might also find a bargain at your local shop, which can be a great opportunity to meet new people and build your network. Locally buying equipment can often lead to great savings. The large chain music stores can be great. Make friends with employees wherever you shop for your equipment. If you are friendly and approachable, there’s a good chance they will cut you a deal.
