Hi. A little bit of this thread .. Are there any Bodhran-players out there? And do you have any suggestions to notate *nice* bodhran-playing? If you do not only play (in a simple way) to reels,jigs,.. but also to any folk,jazz,swing and what ever you want or if you think of people like J.J.Kelly you know what I mean.
When practicing I always have the problem to remember or to write down (hopefully) nice ideas. And two days later I start again from scratch, trying different sticks/fingers, patterns, rolls, colors of sound (sorry, is this english?), playing short or long sounding, ... I can note some important rhythmic points. That can be done pretty compact. But remarks about all the other things tend to become novels. So I just have to learn the bdr-accompaniment for each single piece and I play it from memory. Hints on this whould be wellcome.
