For the record. I do not profess to play the bodhran any more than I play the tambourine or bones. I do own them and occasionally use them to produce strange noises. BTW my spelling checker suggested Bodhidharma for bodhran. From Wiki - "Bodhidharma is depicted as a rather ill-tempered, profusely bearded and wide-eyed barbarian." A bodhran player maybe?
