Every musician has their favourite accessories, things they found or designed to meet a need.
We here at BOD recommend some CDs of great music from the bodhrán players we find most inspiring, two of whom happen to use our Talking Bodhrán. We sell our drums with tuning wrenches, but if you need a spare, this is the place to find it.
Cormac Byrne’s Talking Sound Bar, designed in collaboration with us here at BOD, is unique in the world of bodhrán playing, and using it will take you into some pretty amazing sound worlds.
Christian Hedwitschak offers a device to add a snare-drum effect to your bodhrán playing and a really well designed adjustable and removeable HEDstrap to support your bodhrán if you like to play standing up.
Stevie Moises collaborated with Christian to create the MOpHED – a great little practice pad, so you can work on your beater technique quietly, any time and any where.
