Definitely.! This is far more insightful than a lot of tutor vids. Would be great to see this as a standard in all tutorials going forward as, literally just a backlight.. Genius.!👌
I have been watching a lot of bodhran solos lately, and getting fatigued at some of the careless phrasing. Seems like people have good chops, but just let their hands fly around, playing in the the time sig, but giving no mind to macro phrasing, tone, and general musical coherence. This is musical at the core. Music is more than just playing lots of notes in time. This guy really gets into it, and is fully invested in what he is doing. I watch these young kids at competitions and they look absolutely sedated. Nice to see someone full of life keeping the tradition going.
He won it after collecting 10 bar codes of Mars Bars and taking them to that candies store near the Trinity college. That's how l got my driving license but with Oreos.
It is indeed a Metloef drum. Rob Forkner made it. Rob delivered this drum to Robbie in Dublin when we were on our way to the Coleman county bodhran summerschool in Gurteen Co. Sligo, I believe in 2013.. Rob Forkner lives in Oregon, USA these days. He still makes drums, but only custom orders I believe
Begging one person once again said again and again a friend. Who will not force me to begg.mercy.get me away from shatistics.....................vivian and her slaves. Boran inspirational....talk talk to the MIER......and not the violence.
I love that the lighting blacklights the drum, letting you see what his right hand is doing inside of it!

ESPECTACULAR, BRAVOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The control of dynamics and technique is incredible
Love the silhouette of the right hand, so insightful. Nice touch! Genius!
No one plays like Robbie! Always a pleasure to hear you play
Oh my god.....utterly fantastic, tried for three years and gave my drum away to a local pub...that was AMAZING 😘
I'm a student of Colm Phelan, a good friend of Robbie, can't wait to learn to solo
OMG! A mighty player. Awesome!!!!!!
Absolutely feckin BRILLIANT!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Legendary stuff
this style influenced early jazz drumming I really felt that in this solo
Inspiring!!!
Makes me want to get back at it...
Who needs a drum kit when you have this kind of practiced talent?
Woooooow…. I have no words, hilllarious! Thanks from a absolute Bodhran-beginner in Germany, Susanne
💚🇮🇪
Just got one for my birthday
Amazing. Love this
The best
I saw colm Murphy live in baltimore Cork,,,, a long time ago now,,,,,, this guy is on a par with him I'd say,,, fantastic
Fabulous!!!
4:13 he plays "the lick" on an unpitched drum. That's some skill
Just seen this Robbie.........great stuff! All down to the tipper right enough! 😜
Wow
Bravo! Totally awesome!
Wow, he's like a wizard!
Brilliant!🤩

W.O.W!
Savage Robbie, fairplay to ye
I like the bit where he sounded like light sabers :')
🥰
What about using both ends while playing? Is that a specific style?
Grand job. But I'd like to know what the brand of Bodhran he is playing and where to acquire one.
I'm sure it's a metloef drum. Made by Rob Faulkner.

Very much a technician, I prefer Johnny Ringo
Such a foreign sound. Definitely not as it was
