Bodhrán, an Irish Drum with a “tipper” to play it.
I remember in middle school, my dad found his old drum set. I had fun watching him play, and even attempted some beats myself. So when I saw this drum in Ireland I brought it home so I’d have my own little drum. It is a Bodhrán, a drum that is opened at the back, and is nicknamed the “poor man’s Tamborine”. You can hear how it is traditionally played. I found this drum in the shops near Blarney Castle.
