Designers and makers of metal percussion instruments which perform beyond the boundaries of their traditional counterparts and beyond traditionally defined music genres… with a vocabulary of tones from deep, soft and mellow, to bright and crisp, full of attack and varied expression.
I’ve been using the Talking Bodhran a lot recently with The Willows and I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. You have created a sonic monster that during soundcheck just makes everyone smile.
I’ve been following your metal drum project quite a while and for sure I have to say (if you want to hear it or not ) it’s by far the coolest thing I have seen for long time – finally a new, really new approach to the bodhrán world. After watching new makers coming and going – most unidentifiable copies of existing designs… it’s refreshing to see someone coming up with unique material, design, finishing and of course sound. Keep up the good work and all the best !
