Thanks for checking out my documentary, Hidden Drummers of Iran! Let me know what you think in the comments, and subscribe to my channel for the next instalment which is coming your way shortly ;)
I discovered you a few days ago whilst looking for Bodhran lessons (thank you for those!). I since discovered this amazing documentary made by you too. The quality of this video is just incredible, it's better than a lot of stuff they put on telly! Great job! I'm going to watch the India episode next. I could honestly watch an entire series of you travelling the globe and spending time with drummers from all cultures. Thank you again.
Could you please recommend your favorite documentaries about percussion? I started looking for them just recently and have found sadly few by now. Makes me wondering wherever I'm doing something wrong or there's really almost no such content 😢
Dear Ruairi Glasheen, I am Iranian and I am really thankful for making this documentary and introducing a part of Persian music to the world. It is worth mentioning that you yourslf seem like a very nice and emotional person that understand art deeply.
Thank you so much Parmida for your kind words. I really want to showcase the magic of Iran and it’s music through my film and show people another perspective. 🙏✨🤲
As an American who is deeply appreciative and holds a deep love for Persian culture and artistry alongside musicianship, this is such a remarkable and beautiful video, and this leaves an impact all around the world for those who do not know about Iran and its ancient culture and instruments. من يكم فارسي صحبت مى كنم، و عشق به ایرانیان💙
Dear Kent, thank you for taking the time to watch, and for your lovely comment. Its really heartening to get feedback like this, and i'm so very glad that you enjoyed the film. All the best to you, Ruairí
This documentary has offered me a beautiful glimpse into Persian culture which has always intrigued me. Always healing and expansive to move beyond the parameters of perception developed through media channels which focus on the political dynamics of a society.. Thanks for opening a portal into the heart of the beautiful people who live there.
Check out Mohamed Reza Mortezavi. He's a an excellent Iranian drummer who now lives in Berlin. His hands are exquisite in playing and his solo concerts are magical to behold. He's mostly known for daf and tonbak playing, but th eman could play anything with his hands, and his philosophy of music is so environmentally organic.
Greetings from ancient Iran. it was a beautiful vlog about traditional drumming in Iran, I am a extreme metal drummer inside Iran and our music is more underground that no one can imagine how hard it is to dodge the misunderstandings and dangers we are facing here. all type of music old and new from traditional to jazz, rock, metal and etc. is practicing in Iran. also I am a hang drummer and have one and also had interest to bodhran many years ago but unfortunately could not have the pleasure to learn it. wish you luck for your future journies.
Thank you so much for your kind message, and for watching my film- I only wish we had the chance to meet and talk music when I was in Iran! So great to hear all kinds of music is thriving there - keep the beat going. Wishing you the best. Ruairi
If music were only a world religion, we would have unity on the planet. As a professional musician, I was so inspired. I look forward to your future travels and videos. This was absolutely fantastic!!!
Rock on tonbak.... respects and love from mridangam student... one day I will be ready to learn rhythm of mystic... from this great nation... thanks for the video 📹 😘
Thank you for this great documentary. I got choked up watching this because I love my homeland . Hope you enjoyed your visit to Iran. God be with you Friend.
So glad you enjoyed the documentary Siamak - I also love Iran, and it was my privilege to visit for a while, and meet the incredible musicians and people. Looking forward to returning one day. Thanks again for the kind words. Ruairi
It is only because some Western country that elected a true fascist has decided that Iran is one of the Boogie Man enemies . The US always needs to have an enemy (Or two to three)to rally behind. What an empty culture. I was born and raised there but I moved away to enjoy other cultures and will never move back to that war mongering country.
Fabulous!!! Aren’t the people incredible?! Likewise, looking forward to going back sooner rather than later :) thanks for watching and for your kind words 🙏👍
Thanks for this masterpiece Ruairi. Getting some positive vibes for this country is incredibly precious, especially with the current situation. I am myself a drummer and I plan to stay living in Iran for quite a long period, in addition to the language that I'm learning, you just opened doors on this unique type of music and percussion. What a huge motivation boost Thanks again for this amazing moment, I wish you the best Tanguy
Tanguy, thank you so much for your kind message, and I’m so delighted to hear that the film spoke to you and your work as a musician. My experiences in Iran were life changing. The musicians I met and music I experienced were simply out of this world. Wishing you the very best on your own musical journey and thanks again for your message. Ruairi
What a wonderful introduction to a beautiful instrument and culture. I love how you are breaking down the barriers of misunderstanding and misinformation by the general media through a mutual love for music and rhythm. It is a truly heartwarming thing to witness and restores my faith in humanity. My long-held love of drumming has once again been re-ignited.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Sian - I'm so glad you enjoyed the film and it has re-ignited your love of of drums and drumming. Wonderful! Ruairi
Mobarak bro! You choose one of the most beautiful way to travel to mesmerising Iran: you connected to its vibration, that awakening its ancient mystical traditions. Ireland and Iran are amongst the country that touched me the most in the world....
That is such a beautiful way to put it Ariane and thank you so much for your kind words. I really glad you enjoyed the film 🙏 already planning my return to Iran ✨👍🙌
Thank you so very much for a wonderful, delightful, and sensitive film. As a percussionist, novice of the tonbak, and having been seduced and delighted by Persian culture for more than 30 years, this film was like pure gold for me and I hope you will have more to say about Iran after your next visit. Esfahan in particular seems to have a special attraction for me as well. Thanks again.
Hi Stefano50 - thanks so much for the very kind words, and I'm delighted you enjoyed the film. I'm certainly planning to return once travel is safe and normality begins to resume.. fingers crossed soon! Wishing you the best and thanks again for commenting, Ruairi
Thanks Ruairi. That was fascinating. I was thinking of Africa and The Police drummer.. who is another great musician, the Cuban rhythms of Latin American music too came to mind. I love the school you discovered in Iran and their musicians. Bless
Hi Ruairi, Another interesting episode on Hidden drummers of Iran. Very informative indeed, Happen to notice subtle similarities with Indian percussion instruments and the style. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Keep it up. Yaten.
@@bodhran you're welcome . It's only when we see the world falling apart around us that we begin to realise what is important . What unites us suddenly shines brightest in all its simplicity and joy.... and it costs bugger all to boot.
I am so glad I found this. An amazing documentary and I hope you produce more. I am a frame drummer and I am always looking for more inspiration. I can’t travel to these countries myself so this documentary is so important for those of us studying. Thank you so much.
Delighted you enjoyed Anne, and thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. More in production at the moment, and hope to share some more details with you all soon 🙏
this is a wonderful documentary. I just ordered a tombak, and was researching online for videos, and found this. Coincidentally, I also swing meels for exercise, and hadn't made the connection that these are used for that tradition. I can make my own music for it now! (well, or once my tombak arrives). I've also watched some of your bodhran videos, and am learning to play that also!
Thanks so much, Ruairi, for this fascinating documentary. Absolutely wonderful music and rhythms. It must have been an unforgettable experience and I'm sure that you have made friends for life with the musicians with whom you played in Iran, India and the other countries that you visited. Waiting to see your Italian footage!! 😉🇮🇹 Sending a big hug from Emilia Romagna
Thank you so much for the kind words, and I did make the most incredible friends in Iran. It was a life-changing experience, and hopefully one day I can return. Italy footage is looking INCREDIBLE - I'm so excited to share some updates soon. Big hugs right back at you! 🙏🙌
Brilliant documentary! So happy to know that musical traditions are alive and growing in this amazing country! Congratulations to you and your team for such a wonderful production, and the very talented musicians who shared their stories. 😁
Watched it yesterday, this is some incredible footage! Thanks so much for traveling to Iran and bringing light to a side of drumming most of us have never seen. It was wonderful! -Dan
Loved this video thank you for creating and sharing it Ruairi! Do you know if the shop you visited for the Tombak is able to to ship to Europe? Or do you have a recommendation on a place to get a Tombak shipped to the Netherlands?
Thanks so much Dave for the kind words. I'm really sorry but I have no idea how to get a tonbak from Iran to NL - I got both my drums when I was there directly from makers. Maybe a great reason to book a flight once travel becomes safe in the future?!
As a world traveler and music lover I highly appreciate your superb documentaries. ❤ Thank you. Looking forward to your future travels ❤ I would love if you could also post the instagram or whatever social media of the musicians.
I'm sure you do understand the power of music & rhythm on the human body & soul.. (and they do too..) .Music unites people too.. No wonder music is restricted... Plato wrote: 'Music is medicine to the soul. justice is to the soul as health is to the body. Through music, the soul learns harmony and rhythm and even a disposition to justice.'. This is the quote I was looking for: “Let me make the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” Andrew Fletcher
Thank you for this. May you prosper in peace. More music to you. I couldn't find the second part of hidden Indian drummers. Do post the link here if possible.
Thank you so much for your kind words of support Fahad. Part two will be released next Friday 28th August, and Part 3 on the 4th September. I hope you enjoy watching them too. Take care, Ruairi
Hi, Thanks for this great documentary. I would like to know what is the name of the second tombak maker, at 10:43 please ? I think I have a tombak from him but I do not know his name !
Excellent video! Enjoyed it very much. If I could change one thing about it would be how the narrator pronounces 'Iran', which is not quite correct. Iran should be pronounced as 'Iraan' or 'Irahn'. Same with 'Tehran', pronounced as 'Tehraan' or 'Tehrahn'. Great job on the video. Thank you.
Personally offended by advertising by Republican Party. But even You Tube has to make money so that’s how it goes. Thanks for this movie. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few Iranians. I myself am also a percussionist, doumbek, tar, riqq. Love this music!
So glad you enjoyed the film Kelly, and Thank you for taking the time to watch. TH-cam ads are targeted on each individual so sadly I can’t control those. I visited the e-master music production website once during the summer, and every second add to this day is e-master ( !!!) it’s a strange world we are living in - be well and all the best to you. Ruairi
@@bodhran there are many musicians in Iran used daff in their music here is the Iranian Kurdish folk music group called Rastak which used this instrument, th-cam.com/video/zDohKfaSYcY/w-d-xo.html . I believe this instrument has got a long history as well 💜💜💜.
@@bodhran this Persian music would be a good example of traditional Persian music as well : th-cam.com/video/YxUDJLliY1I/w-d-xo.html With lots of love and peace from Persia 💜💜💜
Every video on Iran ever since AD 1482: "things are getting better nowadays, the government isn't hammering us, our internet speeds are now reaching 5 megabits per second" Seriously though awesome video, thank you for making this ☺
Nice, but making a Documentary about Tombak without mentioning Bahman Rajabi's name is like Talking about Electric guitar's history and not talking about Jimi Hendrix.
People think iran is bad place but it's not ints just 40 years to world dont let iran be good if iran and Iranian was not in the world lot of things to world have now wasn't
Only missinformed people or people with no cultural interests of any kind would think that. Iran is one of the greatest cultural staples of the world. A bridge betweem the east and the west, a language that permits you travelling from Turkey to Taijikistan and wouldn't supriseeven to some western areas of China. I really admire lray and some day l will be able to go there.
@@coronelsakura2841 thk fo your kindness Even they are some people in iran to dont know this things what can I say 😕🤷♂️ a day will come to we will be like old times ❤❤❤
Saya tak pasti alat muzik Tradisional sebenarnya beasal dari mana (negara) contohnya diMalaysia sendiri banyak persamaan dgn negara lain seperti , kompang ,gendang , gedombak yg dimainkan didlam wayang kulit kelantan Malaysia pula yang seakan akan sama dgn tonbak dr Iran .

I visited the e-master music production website once during the summer, and every second add to this day is e-master ( !!!) it’s a strange world we are living in - be well and all the best to you.

Republican Party? It is gone. It is now the Fascist Party of America!
Fantastic documentation. I must laugh when I see these 18th century style Sofas, every iranian family has it in their "good room".

Why don't you check for se-tar one of Iranian musical instrument.🤔 A big love from Iran💚🇮🇷
I'd love to make that film!
wow when did you go there?
January 2018 - I had such an awesome time!
I wish if you could check the Daff as well from Iran.
I would love to make a film about the daf!
@@bodhran there are many musicians in Iran used daff in their music here is the Iranian Kurdish folk music group called Rastak which used this instrument, th-cam.com/video/zDohKfaSYcY/w-d-xo.html . I believe this instrument has got a long history as well 💜💜💜.
@@bodhran this Persian music would be a good example of traditional Persian music as well : th-cam.com/video/YxUDJLliY1I/w-d-xo.html With lots of love and peace from Persia 💜💜💜
Every video on Iran ever since AD 1482: "things are getting better nowadays, the government isn't hammering us, our internet speeds are now reaching 5 megabits per second"
Seriously though awesome video, thank you for making this ☺
Music Voyager focused on percussion? Where’s your PBS funding
Hahah! Maybe one day I'll get a commission #dreambig 🤩
12:36 that iPhone charger problem and taping it is universal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!!! My screen was so smashed up 🤣
Nice, but making a Documentary about Tombak without mentioning Bahman Rajabi's name is like Talking about Electric guitar's history and not talking about Jimi Hendrix.
Reasons for the restrictions on music in Iran, see "Fate of Empires" audiobook youtube. Cycles within cultures and their demise. Fascinating.
People think iran is bad place but it's not ints just 40 years to world dont let iran be good if iran and Iranian was not in the world lot of things to world have now wasn't
Only missinformed people or people with no cultural interests of any kind would think that. Iran is one of the greatest cultural staples of the world. A bridge betweem the east and the west, a language that permits you travelling from Turkey to Taijikistan and wouldn't supriseeven to some western areas of China. I really admire lray and some day l will be able to go there.
@@coronelsakura2841 thk fo your kindness
Even they are some people in iran to dont know this things
what can I say 😕🤷♂️
a day will come to we will be like old times ❤❤❤
@@armin3068 Nothing, anywhere, ever has been like "old times" and they will never be like "old times." There is no where to go but forward.
@@farshimelt what? What do you mean
Saya tak pasti alat muzik Tradisional sebenarnya beasal dari mana (negara) contohnya diMalaysia sendiri banyak persamaan dgn negara lain seperti , kompang ,gendang , gedombak yg dimainkan didlam wayang kulit kelantan Malaysia pula yang seakan akan sama dgn tonbak dr Iran .
