A bodhrán is a traditional Irish drum typically made from a circular wooden frame, often constructed from hardwoods like birch or ash. The drumhead is usually made from animal skin, such as goat or cow, which is stretched across one side of the frame and secured with tacks or a removable rim. This combination of materials contributes to the bodhrán's distinctive sound and resonance. Additionally, some modern bodhráns may use synthetic drumheads for durability and consistency.

What are bodhrans?

A bodhran is a frame type drum, round in shape generally between 12" and 18", although there are larger. It is held between the body and the right or left arm, depending on which side is dominant, and played with the opposing hand using a beater (called a tipper, or cipin ((kip-een)). The skin is made from goat and the drum is generally used in traditional styles of Irish music, although it is not limited to strictly that type of music.
