I went away from this thread last night and practiced drumming on my Chinese steamer (it has Stomp type possibilities, but I can't find a decent tipper in my kitchen yet). Apart from the obvious advice not to, where would I find a source on how to play bodhran? I've had this thing about drumming since being kicked out of the percussion band at age eight. (There was a graphic score, and we had to play a rhythm like drum, tambourine, tambourine, cymbal, three times then drum, tamb, tamb, triangle. I couldn't make the drum rhythm and got demoted to triangle. I was drumming to a different march.) Most of the time, it lies quiescent, but it's back. Tell me not to do it!
