Hi Nicolle, would you be kind enough please to tell me the length of the tipper you're using here. I've got only the double egg end tipper that came with drum and I hate! But before I spend a lot of money and time trying to find the right length of stick to do these rolls and triplets, I figured I'll start with the length you're using. It obviously works!!! Thank you very much! And, coincidentally, Merry Christmas 2022! 😉🎅

I am an a drummer and I was filling in for a band and a very nice person gave me a Bodhran drum to try out. I am familiar with triplets and rolls and know what they sound like, however I'll have to get a new tipper that looks like the one you use. The one given to me is smaller and not as easy to use as the one you have. I would like to learn something to play and get back to the friend who gave me the drum with what I have learned. I sure she would be pleased and I am really interested to learn to play. Thanks for you great lesson.

Nicolle, thank you so much for your videos, I've been using them to learn myself; can I ask -- and I know the last comment was posted a year ago so forgive me if you don't want to answer -- how do you stop your fingers hitting / rubbing the skin while you're doing a triplet? it feels like, either my fingers are getting in the way, or, if I put my hand at a slightly greater angle from the skin, I can't complete the triplet / roll with the other end of the tipper - they just don't meet have you got any tips you could give me to fix this please? thank you

Thank you! So is there an advantage between single vs. double ended triplets/rolls or is it just preference? Do you switch back and forth?
@NicolleFigMusic
6 жыл бұрын
Hi Daniel, thank you for your message! I believe there are advantages and disadvantages to both. I do switch back and forth but I do tend to do more double-ended triplets! I believe it's important to know how to do both equally good. Then, you can make an informed choice of which kind to use, and when! Some of the difference are: sound quality - a double-ended triplet sounds slightly different to a single-ended one; speed - depending how fast they are playing, a particular triplet may suit better than the other; tune type & style - for example: if they play a modern reel, a single-ended triplet might suit more (you don't have to stick to one kind in a tune tho!). This are just some of the differences. It really is up to you and what you think will enhanced the music more!! Happy Playing!!

@NicolleFigMusic
6 жыл бұрын
Hi Rose, it's a little difficult for me to help you because I can't see you or hear you. To me tho, it sounds like your drum might be tuned up to tight. I know that my skin is too tight when the bass disappears. It kinda sounds like if you were pressing on the skin too hard all the time - even if you are not pressing at all. In other words, it sounds too high pitched. The way I learned to tune my drum is to - as evenly as you can (*), loose the skin until it wobbles, just a tiny bit tho, not all the way! Then, start tuning it up evenly. Keep tuning up until you find a sweet spot - you like the sound. If you tune up too much tho, you will loose the bass. If that happens tune down evenly again. It is a matter of practice and preference. I hope this helped! (* by evenly I mean in a X manner. Do one tuner and then tune the opposite of that tuner, until you do all of them).

As somebody who has played the bodhran for almost 30 years, the best advice I could give is don't haul it out and accompany someone without asking. That only works for the best, and not even then always. OOOH IRISH MUSIC??? I HAVE MY DRUM!!! I've seen it way too often. In fact some Irish musicians say the best way to play the bodhran is with a knife.
