In this video I'll share my own approach to playing double ended triplets on the Bodhrán and give you two approaches to try out. My first approach, the methodical approach breaks it down into 3 distinct movements or shapes to practice slowly before building up speed. The second, is more of a feel it out approach which I'll take you through in the video. Hope you find it helpful!
I’m Ruairi Glasheen, and I’m a percussionist, composer and filmmaker based in London. I’ve been playing bodhrán since I was 4 years old and I simply love this instrument! This is the first episode in a NEW SERIES of technique tutorials where I’ll share with you my approach to playing this instrument so please comment below any suggestions or requests you might have!
