Discover the Bodhrán
The Bodhrán is an Irish frame drum with deep roots in Irish and Australian Bush music. It also shares a fascinating connection to the frame drums of the Middle East.
This versatile instrument is played by holding the drum in one hand and striking the drum’s skin with a small double-headed stick, often referred to as a “tipper.”
In Australia’s colonial past, Bodhráns often had a unique origin story. They were crafted from the frames of old gold mining sieves, and the drumheads were typically made from kangaroo hide, a testament to the resourceful spirit of the time.
