Basic Bodhrán Technique
The Basics
Posture for Right-Handed Players
Sit upright in a chair that has no arms. Plant both of your feet on the floor such that your left leg supports the underside of the drum and your right foot is free to keep time with the rhythm of the music. Tuck the drum between your left upper arm and ribcage such that your body holds it steady and not your left hand. Keep your upper body reasonably still, except for your left hand, right hand, right wrist and right forearm, which should remain loose while you play.

Bodhrán Duet with Tristan Pruss
This is a bodhrán duet I played with Tristan at the Chelsea Sounds & Sights festival in June, 2010, which was recorded and cut by banjo player Dave Foster. I thought we sounded pretty good!
