View many videos of Rolf's extraordinary musicianship.
Rolf is a highly respected bodhran player and teacher. In 2005 he founded Bodhran-Info. That online shop is THE place to find all things related to the bodhrán. I have bought drums, tippers and all sort of bodhrán equipment through Rolf's store. In addition to being a spectacular player Rolf is a wonderful guy and a working large animal veterinarian!
This is an impromptu session is an example of how a bodhran can pass the time while waiting for a delayed flight! The point of making music is to have fun. These guys are having fun and so is everyone in that waiting area.
