Materials
A bodhran is a frame drum made of circular wood (usually ash) with stretched goatskin skin; although you can find some made with sheep, horse, or dog skin too. Importantly, goats used in making bodhrans do not die specifically to provide skin for making these instruments; rather they are by products of meat industry production processes.
Bodhran players can select one or more styles depending on personal preferences and musical genre. For instance, some musicians prefer playing the instrument without sticks – in such an instance the instrument should be lighter in weight with thinner drum heads.
Others musicians prefer using a cipin or beater for making precise adjustments to the bodhran, allowing more complex rhythms and controlling pitch of drum to be played along with other instruments such as flute.
