Improving the Voice of a Low Cost Bodhran
This technique works ONLY on bodhrans that have natural skin heads
If you want to improve the sound of a low-end drum OR if you want to collect and experiment with drums, this is THE technique for you!
Watch this ten-minute YouTube by Paul Marshall. He demonstrates how to make a cheap bodhran sound like a passable drum. The process does not require much skill. The materials are simply sandpaper and electrical tape.
I have successfully done this on my own drums and a number of student drums. Everyone always comes away happy!
