Some Bodhrahnistas even use the the "flat" hand to add more percusion &/or control the snare. Ooops! Giving away trade secrets.

AND Martin Brinsford (Brass Monkey et al) plays mouth organ and Bodhran at the same time. And he is the best Ceilidh drummer I know, anyway. And I dance to quite a few.

Keep us posted Greg - but Cajun trumpet I have to see!
