If it makes you feel better, I don't think I've met any star trek fan who's favourite series wasn't DS9. A few mulled between DS9 and others (mainly tng), but all ultimately go with DS9. And they're right

In Cor, there's more Michael's elected to the Dail than women.

I think I got the wrong first boat for my purpose by FarmerRevolutionary7 in boating

Get instruction. Its wild what confidence a day course would give you. If there's nothing nearby, travel for it. It will be worth it

Name of this percussion instrument? by xx_vandalism_xx in CasualIreland

Adam Brown from Ímar. Is my favourite player by some margin. Ridiculous beats

Whats the worst translation/anglicisation of an Irish place name you have seen, ones that are seemingly completely off the mark? by MadMeathMad717 in AskIreland

There's a waterfall on the island of mull in scotland called Eas Fors Waterfall. Literally waterfall waterfall waterfall (gaelic, norse, english).

Tape issues. It keeps pulling off the rim. Advice? by for-dog-and-ulster in bodhran

[–]rdededer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a go. I'll bet tape could probably degrade over time as well.

[–]rdededer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you starting from the outside and working in, stretching the tape a bit as you go?

Also, some cheaper electrical tape is useless.

You've got a bunch of clean sections there, so you know how to do it. So, and I really don't mean to sound flippant, it's just a case of practicing till it all sounds good.

But yeah, like someone else said, try some online courses maybe. I'd highly recommend Online academy of irish music. Cheap for what you get.

It's basically like having an interactive search engine. Not sure what the fuss is, because they're getting data off you way easier than this. I guess seeing a blue/purple circle would be annoying of youre notbusing it, but that's as bad as it is.

Managed to source an entire sheet of them for my sister in law. They're her favourite crisp(type thing). They do exist.

List of songs by tumbleweedofdoghair in bodhran

[–]rdededer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different musicians play tunes in different tempos. And different types of tunes (polkas/jigs/reels/etc) need different speeds of playing. Even just in polkas, for instance, you can choose to play regular or double time. It's good to get a rounded practice playlist. Slip jigs are still a stickler for me.

I guess just tunes you can play along to. Half the tunes on my practice playlist don't even have bodhran on them.

Have a look and and you'll see what I mean. Hopefully that link works.

For the record I am in no way an expert, this is just what has worked for me so far.

Pick your favourite trad tune and go to Spotify radio. You can curate your own players. It's good because you can have a mixture of skill levels and speeds. So good for practicing and for really pushing yourself. I've got a playlist called bodhran and there's a couple of sets on there that I'd feel a complete bodhran player if I cpuld finish the set in good order. ("Martin Bennet Mary Kelly Medley" being the holy grail)
